You can definitely cut hair with an axe

Just make sure to use different axes for your beard & your balls.

What if I don’t have balls?

Was this before or after using the axe?

Instructions unclear, balls stuck in wood chipper.

Why though? If she shaves she shaves. If my balls are so contaminated I can't let something that touched them contact my face I need a shower.

exemplariasuntomni t1_jcc975v wrote

You can also definitely cut a tree with any blade.

Cutting it down is another matter.

Sole_Meanderer t1_jcbt2oi wrote

That’s why you gotta keep it sharp, to get through the beards.

BlakeMW t1_jccid11 wrote

This statement would be perfectly reasonable in a fantasy universe where you have to fight dwarves, as dwarven beard hair is often attributed with fantastical qualities.

k-tax t1_jccn9hv wrote

It definitely works similar to HEPA filters. Dwarves usually have long lifespans. It would be virtually impossible with all the contamination from dust, fine particles and other bad stuff in mines.

Sole_Meanderer t1_jcd952j wrote

Itd be pretty tough to decacpitate a dwarf with a beard full of mithril dust from years of mining, but i have no quarrel with the dwarves, they make good axes.

lokicramer t1_jcc0vkd wrote

For sure, even a dull axe can cut hair if it's laid on a surface.

Who needs the razors, I've never liked them.

WillKimball t1_jcc66tm wrote

Also the definition of a tree is very loose, you could take a razor to a Shrub.

Peraou t1_jccq1dr wrote

A shrub is for sure not a tree, but you could certainly take a razor to a sapling

I sliced open my finger with my Hultafors axe. I didn’t even think it was possible for an axe to be razor sharp straight out of the box.

That's a great sentiment and often the opposite of the vibe Reddit provides to commenters 😅

I really wish people would stop posting this image.

Every person who makes a custom axe always tests it by shaving the hair on their arm.

Maybe it should say for cutting cocain. A curved blade would make that difficult.

And every time I make a razor I test it by cutting down a tree

gahidus t1_jccqijq wrote

Doesn't change the fact that an axe is a terrible shaving implement.

chi7p1 t1_jcd5yns wrote

While normal razors and axes are useful in their own way, you gotta admit that a razor-sharp-hair-cutting-axe is clearly in the upper league.

maobezw t1_jcbhzb9 wrote

ahm... a razorblade CAN cut(!) a tree. easily. though its a tiny cut on the very surface of the bark....

alwaysmyfault t1_jcbmfzc wrote

Can't cut "down" a tree.

cippopotomas t1_jcc3psx wrote

What if you fired it at a high velocity at a tree with a width shorter than the blades?

2

alwaysmyfault t1_jcc4e19 wrote

Not sure that would be considered a "tree" at that point. More like a sapling.

And even then, I guess it would depend on just how fast it was fired. A razor blade has little mass, so it would need to be going at a decent velocity to gain enough force to cut through even a 2 inch sapling.

VictimOfRegions t1_jccfcgv wrote

Yeah the phrasing really lets down the sentiment here. Just like a sharp axe can cut hair no problem, they should've said you wouldn't use it for a haircut

Bro I got my Hultafors bruk axe, and it could shave hair right out of the box.

U can have one thing on the desert island, the razor blade, or the axe.

Dr. Feelgood trying to tell us value hierarchies just dont exist now, all to make you feel better about being a fucking razorblade on a desert island.

albertowtf t1_jcbsrxh wrote

Now picture this. You are not on a forrest but on a city and you are about to go on a date. Which one do you pick the razor blade or the axe?

Dr. ithinkimfuckingsmart b. utimreallyprettydumb usually doesnt realize that value hierarchies are not absolute

MisterRioE_Nigma t1_jceo4me wrote

There are more uses in life for an axe than for a razor. If you could have only one. Its the axe. Its a dumb meme. And you’re just looking for an arguement. But ill let you deal with those issues alone.

albertowtf t1_jcevanf wrote

I dont want to argue but i still you dont grasp that both are useful in their own way, since you are not alone in a planet, which by the way is another made up scenario by your own brain trying to fuck you up

The question is not which one do you pick because is more useful in the vacumm to survive on earth alone

Lets forget about the blade. You have a small house in the city and you have 100 axes already in your house. I offer you an old one for free. Do you still pick it up?

Its the same axe you would had wanted in your island alone. Why you dont want it now?

Context matter and both are useful in their own way. My escenario is as made up as your alone in an island one

If we restrict this to realistic scenarios, I would argue that practically nobody has found themselves alone stranded in an island and at least 20% of the population shave every day

This is probably an useless argument because you still think that the axe is always better no matter what and its a shame, because you are discarding the blade every time and makeing blades feel bad, but in reality if a surgeon has to cut me, i rather he is very good with his blade even if he has never touched an axe

GelbeForelle t1_jcbvahs wrote

Idk, you need the razor to use the razor blade properly. Also, you can probably just buy a blade in the city. Unless this was part of the metaphor, I really don't know anymore

This made me think of an equally "meh" motivational tripe: "Some things in life were made to be down trodden and stepped on every day of their lives. And those are some of the finest horeshoes" or some other stupid repeatable dribble.

Do you really think getting your balls shaved with above razor blade directly is a dunk at me?

You got offended for no reason

I'm saying what are you gonna do with a razor blade to kill someone because it's weak and I used me as an example

"Offended"? - not sure what makes you think that?

You immediately thought I was dunking you , immediately thought I'm being aggressive

Man I was just saying a joke about how razor blades can't kill shit

saikrishnav t1_jcc7kix wrote

Nope, dunk doesn't necessarily mean aggressibe, just that you are trying to make a counter point to beat my argument - since we are talking online.

trynagetfitforsummer t1_jcc8sxc wrote

I'm not rly tryna do anything It was a joke

Yk when someone could say to a weak person "what are you gonna do flick me to death ?"

So it's the same

Utter bullshit lol You can cut a tree with a razor blade. Felling one is time consuming tho.

If you ever had an axe you'd know that you can definitely cut hair. If not you can sharpen them to cut hair, because it's fucking metal....

A sharp axe could definitely cut hair, I've seen it. I bet you can cut a tree with a razor blade too, although it would take a lot of time.

xombz t1_jccpfoi wrote

I get what you're trying to say, but the comparison doesn't quite work.

Classically, it's don't judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree. I don't remember the exact wording.

An axe can be sharpened to a very sharp point. Aside from that, it has the mass to cut most things. Increase the mass enough on the razor head and it will guarantee to take down a tree.
