Thread: The greatest misperception...

My thick fingers and ham hands can't control a 4/8, with that skinny tang, as well as a 5/8.

I may have mentioned that, Jimmy. Seems my hands are old, skinny, and worn. Grip comes at a premium these days!

A 4/8 shaver causes me more trepidation than an 8/8. I have to be lots more careful to keep from cutting a strop or my Hollywood face as that little fella may just roll-over in my fingers at any time.

See that's the problem right there. You and Obie have those sissy Hollywood faces. If you had a Broadway face like me you would be further ahead in the game and your face could take anything you threw at it and still be a star.

This thread has helped me tremendously,,

Everyday I stare in the mirror and realize that I will never be 5'7", I will always be a 5'5".

But now I realize its all a matter of perception.

That just makes you larger than life John
