Thread: Other "old time" hobbies

I'm into mechanical watches, golf, archery (not the longbow, though..). Does Shhoting fall into 'old time hobbies'? If yes, then that's part of my list as well.

Fountain pens and all things Disney (not really "old time" but it is my main interest. You can figure out where I got my avatar name.

In another post[/URL] Joel Lowett brings up how he has "found that many that partake in straight razor often hold similar interest". In that post he talks about the band Hot Tuna.

Based on Joel's post I figured I would start this post to see what other types of things people who are interested in RAZORs are also interested in.

My interests are way too many to catalog here so I'll just throw a few out there:

In Joel's post I stated my Tuna interest. My music interests are stuck in the 60/70s (Top Favs of the era are Steve Miller's first 5 pre Joker/Eagle albums and Spirit's Dr Sardonicus).

To TrueStereo's post I have to say "bikes are a passion of mine". I currently own 10 that I consider my personal rides with quite a few more that are just in my present inventory. My own rides vary from full-blown-carbon-racer to single speed steel bikes, with an aluminum MTB (for trail riding) and Hybrid (for around town shopping).

Some others: comics (still have my early ones like Captain America in Tales 1 thru 99 and a good deal of the first 100 Fantastic Four); guns (way too many to mention); Toys (huge collection of Smith Miller, Tonka, Struco trucks).

That's a good starter - anyone else want to mention their non SR/DE/RAZOR interests?

My other interests include cooking, tennis and war gaming. Currently the war games I'm playing are Hordes and Warmachine.

My 31 year old son is into that gaming stuff - he likes shooting things up in video games.

He is a contributing writer for MonthlyGamer.com. His name is Whyle Kye Mauriello. You can check out his review of Far Cry 3.

Ms Blackwolf,

My wife is very into the fiber arts - she cards, spins, and does just about everything else involved with turning animal hair into usable yarn - though her interest is ART yarn. Oh, and she doesn't use a SR. She has used a DE to shave her legs but that was years ago.
