    @ MJC Watch how you talk about mules, rented or otherwise!

    Another glassed shaver here as well, I tend to tilt them down to my nose when doing my sideburns, then back up where they belong, and go from there. You just gotta play with em' and figure out where your best line of sight is; took me a hot minute! Spikes are my favorites and I learned with one as well, just go slow around anything that sticks out (like earlobes), and you will get the hang of it. I also tilt the point away just a bit on my jaw line just in case. Once you have the spike down, rounds will be easy peasy my friend.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    I like Mules...many years ago we rode Mules while Coon Hunting in Louisiana, always the preferred mount.
    Note that I mention being mean to a Mule as bad behavior...

    And I see you are from KC, if I recall correctly the US Army had a Mule farm/training operation in MO. until 1955?

    The training center is long gone as you have noted. But Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee were/are still selling mules to the army. Many of the animals you see the Taliban using in Afghanistan are animals we sold or gave them when the Soviets were there. I would much rather ride a mule than a horse, much smoother ride.
