Thanked: 55I was 12 or 13 when I started with a straight. It was the suggestion of my best friend's Dad that got me started. My mom thought I was insane but didn't try to interfere. My Dad thought I was "bad as h*ll" (in a good way). The toughest part was learning to hone with what was available back in those days - Belgians were a legend not to be found until later in life. So I used an Arkansas stone with lather. I'm glad I've stuck with it as it's a lot more satisfying than what's currently available IMHO.
Regards,
EL
