Yes, it is technically possible to sharpen a standard metal object to the point that it will shave hair. But the necessary work to accomplish this task makes it a somewhat silly thing to do.
Just as it is possible to cut down a tree with a metal cutting saw, it is indeed possible, but who would expend that much energy to use a metal cutting blade in soft wood? It would take hours longer than necessary if you simply use the right tool for the job,
Shaving is the same, use the right tool and the job is quick, easy, and painless…
Use the wrong tool and it’s a long, tedious, and dangerous undertaking.
The correct tool for shaving was invented toward the end of the 1800’s and became refined and perfected by the early 1900’s. It is the double edge safety razor. It looks like this…
It uses blades that are perfectly capable of removing every last bit of beard from the face, and the blades cost only pennies. Nothing invented or marketed since these razors can do any better, and most will do much worse.
The razors will last for multiple lifetimes if cleaned and stored well. The blades will shave you for anywhere from 10–100 shaves depending on how well you know how to use them. And they are pretty widely available all over the world. But there are good blades and worse blades being sold.
I have been using vintage razors for almost four years now and I wouldn’t go back to any other method. This is the ultimate in shaving pleasure. There is no better way to get an effortless and comfortable shave. And it takes just a few weeks to really learn how to use one effectively.
Just visit sites like Home – Badger & Blade to learn.
You will not regret having learned the “propper way to shave”.

They were only ever ever used for putting a measure of soft butter on a side-plate, along with a spoonful of marmalade, in the days when only a mouthful of ‘toast and marmalade’ (including butter) was prepared at a time on a piece of toast. It was ‘not done’ to use a single knife for the butter, marmalade and spreading.

Sure you can. You just have to know how to sharpen a metal blade properly. You can shave with an axe if it’s sharp.
