Thread: When is your Straight Razor Sharp

I saw that thread, I think* they were referring to the Belgian Blue whetstone.

Okay that makes sense whetstone starts with a "B" Here is another one HOTD it seems simple now that I know it means "hone of the day" but I could not find it on the acronym & abbreviation page. These are not acronyms and they are not abbreviations either it is just the first letter of a word, and that means it is just misspelled

Yeah, I thought that I had clarified that it was NOT "Big Beautiful ...," but rather was Belgian Blue Whetstone. Sorry if my jest clouded the real answer.

Funny thing that, auto correct is slipping into everything and it bites me on a regular basis. Sometimes I'll type something in like 'BBW' and it will change It to a more common thing like 'BBB.' The stupid 'smart' phone doesn't realize I'm talking about specialty sharpening products and not reporting something to the Better Business Bureau. And somewhere I saw them for sale on a webite as 'Belgian Blue Brand sharpening stones.'

I was just thinking out loud that it helps me when the words are spell out . I had to carry a spelling book the first five years of elementary school writing definitions and spelling words three times each every day. I had to take a spelling test at the end of each week. Any how no problem

i wonder if they meant BBW - Belgian blue Whetstone?

Never say never! I used to feel the same way. My tastes have changed and I now prefer a good quality (and not over hopped) IPA any day over a stout.

I have prefered stouts for over 30 years. I have a friend who has been foisting IPAs on me for about 4 years. Though I like him, I dislike both his politics and his beer.

I am confident that stouts will remain my favorite and that IPAs will continue to be an abomination.

I,m with you Ron, I,ll take my "real" beer all day long, Tc
