I was reading another Yahoo Answers question a few weeks ago, and someone had asked if a surgical scalpel is sharp enough to do these: cut off the tip of a nose, cut off a finger or toe, cut off someones entire ear or just the earlobe, and the last one was is it sharp enough to leave one nasty scar on someones face?

Now all of the people who answered the question said yes to all of those questions. But what I want to know is if that is true, and if it is, can a scalpel do all of those things with ease. Meaning it could do those things really easy, or relatively easy. (If I use a scalpel and I try those activities, lol, I could do it without really even trying?


Also quick question, which a sharper: a scalpel or straight razor?


Thanks
