Honing therapy
I have recently found that sitting down with a razor and a stone or 2 is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best ways to wind down after a bad day.
Todays session was bought on by a long meal with the father in law, mother in law and sister in law along with her lawless children in a restaurant with dreadful service.
So I got in pulled a beer out of the fridge collected one of my kamisori that has gone out of rotation, my brand spanking new corticule delivered directly from Belgium this week and my favourite finishing stone, a one off slate from Wales that has served me well for many years.
Session ended. Kamisori shave ready waiting to be used tonight

It's tough when you're the only outlaw amongst a group of in laws.

I'm glad to hear it's therapeutic for you. I cannot and will not hone when I'm in a bad mood; it just doesn't work out well for anyone.

Honing can be pleasurable IME, or miserable. Going back to the Wide World Of Sports intro ........ "The thrill of victory .......
...... or the agony of defeat " ...... 
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Yea, if it ain't going good it can put me in a very destructive frame of mind.
