    Default Honing in time of need

    Sitting here alone, my new born son and wife is at the hospital(doctor was thinking he was sick, and it was just a elektronic error..) honing away on my broken razor with an water stone.
    Anyone else use this as an comfort or am i strange?

    Well, if it is I'm strange too.

    I love honing. I've gotten to a point where my blades are
    all where I want them to be, and I feel like tapping one on
    the faucet just so I can rehone it.

    I guess I have to start a new hobby.

    Its addictive. I don't even start on a razor unless I know I've got the time to finish it. I hate to leave it incomplete.

    I sometimes dull a razor, just so I get to hone it.


    That sounded almost like "I sometimes hurt myself to see if I still have feelings". So, what's your problem?

    I find honing very relaxing.

    Me too. Great for calming the mind.
    I love the smell of shaving cream in the morning!
