Thread: If you're not looking for a hobby ...

I think many of the things we do and skills we develop can't always be justified on practical grounds.
Some of these skills could be regarded as pure pastimes, others can be put to practical use. Most men need to shave every day, but not ride a bicycle or swim. Some people can go their entire lives without either being able to or needing to drive a car. One man's hobby could well be an essential skill for another.
If you have to be clean shaven, whether you use a cutthroat or a Braun Micron, the use of neither could be said to be a hobby.
A large collection of shaving tackle couldn't be justified as purely practical. Nor could my wife's collection of shoes or earrings.
