Shaving with a Spyderco?
If you had to use it as a razor for your facial hair or other hair, what Spyderco knife would be best suited for shaving?

I'm guessing something like an FFG Endura would be good as it's kind of similar to a straight razor.
I have actually been thinking about buying a straight razor to shave with as the price of razor blades is going up all the time. Does anyone here use one? Would be pretty cool to have a Spyderco Razor.

I've used Resilience before, easy to get that shaving smooth sharp, and been trying to make my GB and Endura SB as shaving knives. Works ok, but yet to match a small 52100 customer I have.
Needs to be smooth, so it's a challenge there.
Chuck,
Any tips for the GB smoothness, .25u diamond paste strop? .1?

Thinnest stock (Chaparral I would think), though I'm a sissy and use an electric shaver. I have had fairly bad eczema my whole life and given the variations of my skin day to day, I can't imagine a knife being conducive to a good shave with my skin, but I'd try a Chaparral before any other Spydercos if I had to (I always had the best luck test shaving arm or leg hair in short amounts with it before I sold my Chaparral).

My finest paste is 1u. Finer would probably be better. :)anagarika wrote:I've used Resilience before, easy to get that shaving smooth sharp, and been trying to make my GB and Endura SB as shaving knives. Works ok, but yet to match a small 52100 customer I have.

I bet the original Puuko would do a good job.
Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.
