Hobbies (Other than this one)
Just curious if yall would share some of your hobbies. Clearly we all enjoy the wonders of wetshaving, but i am sure that there are other hobbies that are enjoyed here.
I'll start... My wife and I like to go geocaching, its an outdoor sport-ish activity. We have our two dogs, and we often take them to hiking trails and let them run, and we hike. In good weather I like to ride my bicycle (casually), otherwise I do a lot of tinkering with stuff. I like to work on old stuff that may or may not need fixing.

Hobbies you ask, i sometimes think i have too many, but they are what really let me relax when i need it most (i started a small business 5 months ago so lately i have been needing them more often). here is my list:
1. custom motorcycle building, everything from ground up builds to full restoration i love it and have been doing it since i was a kid (my dad has been a bike mechanic and builder for about 30 years) i would also put amateur bike racer but time and money have been a fator as of late so i haven't been out on the track in a couple years.
2. playing guitar and writing music, i was the weird guy in high school who was always playing his guitar in the hallways, and loved it.
3. i played soccer and football and love all sports and outdoors and i know that isn't really a hobby but for me it seems to be.
4. i recently bought an 8 inch reflector telescope and have been reading a lot on astronomy and all that neat stuff, it is surprisingly relaxing and very calming to sit for a couple hours and stare into space, for me anyways.
thats all of them. straight shaving is my newest but i am positive it won't ever really go away (although when i turn 100 i maybe go back to the DE for safety sake).

I don't have much time for other hobbies LOL. I have built a database to keep track of every str8 I have, it's condition, if it's been shave tested,etc. Between taking care of the blades and updating the database I don't have much time for anything else.

During college I was really into building PC's, overclocking, and gaming. These days, I still find time to game a bit, but my computers are pretty much all built and tweaked. It's finally cold enough outside (or, I'm used to the cold now), so I'm going to drop my room temp a bit and bump up the overclock on my main rig soon. I mostly play driving games (Logitec Momo wheel/pedals), but I enjoy a good first person shooter or RPG as well (not online).
I really like to read, but I don't have the time these days.
I download and watch TV shows. I don't start a show until I have a full season, and then I go straight through. I'm currently watching Season 1 of Bones, and I also watch the 2008 WRC.
I like a nice cigar or pipe, but I'm not really sure I'd consider that a hobby. Maybe it is...
When I was in high school, I used to mountain bike a lot, but the bike did not come to college with me and it is not at my apartment now. Used to hike a lot in the summers; I climbed 30 of the 46ers over the course of... three summers.
I enjoy driving, but I wouldn't consider it a hobby. If I still had my old Volvo, I'd probably be out in an empty, unplowed parking lot with some cones, but these days I'm driving a Civic, and FWD is no way to drive in the snow.
