    Default Honing ambience

    Honed to Chopin tonite. Usually a few etudes and and the odd nocturne or two will suffice. Tonite, though, I had to step up to the Ballade #3, op.47 to do battle with a Joseph Allen NON XXL. I've been fighting this razor on and off for a week, I decided to seduce it instead..... finally, some progress!

    Try it yourself ----- Just be careful with this one around women or French razors.........

    Some of my favorites to hone to are Hammerfall and Kamelot, but I've honed to all sorts of music. Oh yes, there was my recent Paul Simon phase too...

    When I hone I usually have the History channel on in the background. The psudo-science and war documentries seem to be a good pairing for the science/art of honing.

    I like the early hours of a day (sundays) for honing. Usually i hone in silence. I think next time i will light some candles and burn incense.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    This must be what I'm doing wrong with my Joseph Allen! Stubborn little rascal!

    I generally listen to NPR, but while reading this thread I had a craving for Metallica!
