Thread: Brew Beer or Razor Restoration

Who voted for neither? Come on speak up!
Yeah, you are probably right, I would make rancid beer and hone razors too slivers of metal.

Yeah, I know, do both, but I get a little obsessed when learning something new. I'm afraid of starting them both at the same time and letting one fall by the wayside, as I research the other.

Right now I'm leaning toward brewing. If it is easier than I think, I could easily go into restoration, if I'm wrong and brewing is harder than I thought, then SR-CMT, makes a good point.

Glen and Max have all the time in the world to restore any razors you need done.

This is not my final decision.

Brew!

If you make a mistake restoring - you trash it.

If you make a mistake brewing - you get trashed!

There are a lot of microbreweries here and from what I could gather from the owners and etc... brewing is VERY, very difficult to master. I mean, sure you can make 100 gallons of cheap stuff easy... but the good stuff is more akin to science.

I'm not saying there's no science in razor restoration but it's more of a craft, IMO. Not really wanting to look pedantic or open up a debate here but after a couple weeks of reading about razors/restoration/honing I feel like I pretty much know most things I need to know. Am I eager to learn even more? Yes... but I will learn most things from practice and experimentation.

That is also true of brewing but you're playing with living matter and there are a lot more variables invoved... a lot!

You can definitely learn to do both at the same time...
