Thanked: 1587Hones as TV Characters
Yes, I had some time on my hands this morning while I was shaving. And, as usually happens when I relax during a weekend shave, my mind wandered the highways and byways of reality and beyond, and I found myself wondering: "which of my hones would be members of the A-Team?"
Well, I found that a very interesting question indeed, and was glad I had asked myself. After many hours of serious ponder here's what I decided:
- Templeton "Face Man" Peck: Pretty, smooth, fast-talker - has to be my Nakayama Asagi;
- BA Baracus: Mean but with soft heart, workhorse, dependable, afraid of flying, jack-of-all-trades - Norton 4/8;
- Murdoch: Bat-sh*t crazy, never know from one minute to the next who he'll be or what you'll get, constantly ribbing B.A., man of many faces - BBW/coti combo stone;
- John "Hannibal" Smith: The brains of the operation, loves it when a plan comes together, likes cigars, possibly the world's worst master of disguise - this one was tricky, but I eventually decided this should be a bevel-setter so I chose my Atoma 1.2K diamond plate.
So, if you had to pick a seminal TV series and relate the characters to your hones, who would represent what and why?
James.

I think you are spot on with the Norton being BA, it fits perfect. As for the others I can't comment since I have not had the pleasure of using them yet.

Thanked: 522I will liken the Naniwa SS set to Lawrence Welk and his Champagne Music Makers.
This set is a well orchestrated ensemble, however, so is the Shapton set as well as the Norton group.
What's that, you say, "Who is Lawrence Welk?"............. Ha!

For my French Vosgiene stone I would have to go with Pepé Le Pew.
