I don't envy the stubble you'll have to deal with in a few days. It will hurt.
We are talking about shin stubble and not pubic hair stubble…there is a difference 
I’m more concerned with figuring out how to get my 3 remaining knives that sharp!
I guess it varies individual to individual but calf stubble can cause a surprising amount of irritation. I used to have to shave for taping my ankles and the irritation can get pretty bad during the first week of re-growth.
I guess I’ll find out then
at least now he's more aerodynamic than he used to be. 
Whats next to test your other knives on?
You mean “Who’s next”
Hey OP, have you tried staying on the first stage of sharpening longer? Steels can be softer or harder than one another depending on type and heat treatment.
I’ve done a bit of that as I realized that if I can’t cut hair after the coarse stone I”m not going to get there by more stropping
I’ll have to stay there even longer though and see if that makes the difference.
I thought since this was a flashlight forum "Hairless" just meant Balder .
nice shoes
