leaner Ji, I'm sure loads of people have this problem. I also switched to a bigger Karra for a while but it removed hairs so I went back to my old one, if you can find a Sarabloh Karra that is as smooth and flat (not totally circular/tubelike) as possible on the inside it won't remove hair. If the edges are sharp the hair gets cut off, if it's tubelike they "rub" off. I think the size and weight has a big part in the removing of hair.

I'd say get a smooth flat Sarabloh one around 1cm in thickness, not tubelike or with any grooves etc.

lool okay... from my experience and from what other people have said, it is not only sarbloh kareh that do this... the main thing that does is the EDGE of the kara... for instance when ur sleeping (this happened to my brother) and ur wearing a kara with a sharp edge it usually shaves ur arms..thing is, u just need to lightly file and smoothen the edges of the kara. lastly it might also be a good idea to smoothen the bottom. my kara (made from saralbloh) is rounded of, this prevents the whole shaving dilema.

although this is not related, lool i heard a good way to get rid of rust is to leave ur kara in a bowl of diluted viniger, then using steel wool rub of the rust. it gets rid of the rust and provides a shiny finish, for kirpans use fine glass paper, no need to soak in viniger loool it wuld probably look like ur trying to put pogh on the viniger.

anywai, i hope this helped, i talk from experience, so other readers, please feel free to correct me,

From my experience, if the karra is round & still shave the hair. It could be that the karra is heavy. When karra slides down it shaves/breaks the hair with the weight.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
