Thread: Some rambling thoughts...

I posted this, and left for a gigantic flea market (guess what I'm looking for )

I'm checking in from my phone while my wife drives, and wanted to say Thanks for responses.

Couple of things:

Jimmy, my brother is actually getting into the sport of it too. He's done several restorations and having an absolute blast!

Glen, you made a great point about your personal razors. However, everyone reading this and other threads need to keep in mind what you and Lynn are constantly saying: Even though that's the type of edge you guys prefer, it isn't necessarily what others will. Yours or Lynn's or any other person's preference (especially mine ) don't really have any bearing on the preferences of others... They are simply what we prefer after lots of experimentation. Back to the tractor analogy, you're right on with the scraper (in fact, I said big farmer was absolutely right about his recommendations), but I think (especially) new guys would be much better served with discussions about the cheap bit of kit that will get them to greatness... I'm pretty sure we're on the same page there from our discussions

Lynn, you nailed, Bro. If I never read another post or shared another thing online, I'd still use my kit, enjoy my little hobby, and have a ball... The guys who aren't out to make a name for themselves (in time) are the ones who will earn a quality reputation. I'm no where near the point that I don't have anything to learn, but I have enough knowledge that I would be able to continue to experiment and continue to learn forever without these fora... I'm of the disposition that I wouldn't show up to the boards at all if it weren't for the opportunity to do what I can to help other guys get what they want out of the game. It's what's fun. I'm over the "excitement" and novelty of using a straight, but helping others become proficient is still fun, and I doubt that will change.

That's a lot to type from a BlackBerry

Have fun, is right
