Kudos for having balls of steel for shaving with an outdoor knife. This reminded me of an old commercial where a few "tough guys" were shaving in a public bathroom. The toughest dude was shaving his head with a large bowie knife... afaik it was a commercial for an insurance company ๐Ÿ˜‚ Unfortunately I wasn't able to find said commercial, but I found this Bob Ross of knives who even shaves his face clean from a long beard without properly lathering the soap with a brush. ๐Ÿคฏ I mean sure, in ancient times that was how everyone shaved. Still takes a lot of skill and massive intestinal fortitude...

Murray Carter is a legend. Very well known in the knife community. Next you need to shave with a spoon.

holy shit, I'm bookmarking this for next year. And I need to link this, too :D

He does! But I think it wasn't his first time. His video has a very relaxing and oddly satisfying vibe though, really skilled dude with a calm voice.
