can I shave cheese with this?

I have never attempted to use the slicing blades for cheese. I do shred a lot of hard cheeses (cheddar,parmesan, asiago, etc.) with the shredding disc and that works great. I wouldn't recommend tryingto slice cheese with a slicing disc. The high speed of the disc would probably begin melting the cheesejust enough to gum up the disc. If you choose to give it a shot anyway just be sure to use hard cheesesonly (like the ones cited above) and definitely NOT mozzarella or Velveeta. Hope this helps out.

I am not sure. I have not used it for cheese. But you could freeze the cheese to extend its life.

it would work with hard cheese like some Reggiano but have not tried it on that. Just vegetables.Very sharp!! :)

You can if you like but be careful. I shave the traditional way with brush and quality soap but I find a much closer shave than the five blade cartridge razors. This one is my favourite razor.

Cutting part is shiny and handle is brushed - it does slice pretty thin so I think this would be best for hard cheeses only.

I have never grate cheese in a food processor. However (and this is only a guess), if the cheese is hard, then I would try a fast pulse to see if that works. As long as it's hard cheese, it sounds as if quick pulses should work. I wouldn't try soft cheeses, however. I would guess that soft cheeses would be gummy and stick to the blades.

I don't use it for cheese. I chop meat for hamburger which it does moderately well except for leaving some big chunks which then need to be picked out and re-processed.

I tried to slice cheese a couple of ways ... Neither worked so unless someone else knows a trick I'm thinking the answer is no. That is not to say that I don't like my Mansoline ... I love it!

If you use the fine grater, it will produce a small "peel" like shaving. The course grater will produce a thicker shaving. I suggest using a potato peeler instead

I use mine to shread bar soap, so I think hard cheeses would be fine. The handle turns very smoothly and easily, as well; very good grater.

Oh yes! Just watch out for the chain on the sheath it gets in the way of the blade. But this is definitely not your everyday show blade I'm a very happy owner.Oh and its a dagger not a knife. knives are completely different. you wouldn't cut cheese with a dagger would you? Lol

The soap can be shaved with a cheese grinder or citrus zester if it does not fit into the soap bowl. Grind the product over a flexible cutting board till you have the correct size/shape. Insert your soap into the dish and pour the shavings over the top of the soap. Add a tablespoon of water and press the shavings into the spaces between the soap and bowl.

Absolutely! You can adjust the opening holes. Shaved cheese won't work but grated will. Enjoy! It is airtight.

Absolutely. The largest holes are about 1/4 inch. Good for normal grated cheese but not big enough for the "shaved" type.

When I bought the Zyliss Classic Rotary Cheese Grater, the information given said that it was good for grating hard cheeses, chocolate and nuts. As for grating soap, I suppose it could work as long as the soap is hard enough. Other than that, I don't know.

I haven't tried to grate cheese, but I am sure it probably would grate hard cheese. I don't know about softer cheese, it might stick to blades. I use it instead of the food processor when I can. I sure hope I was a little help. I love it.
