Popsicle stick idea is great practice. Take it a step further and just for fun, practice unpinning after you have pinned the sticks. There is an endeavor that could use a bit of practice. Good luck.

Seriously though, when I was a kid I used to go to work with my old man in the holidays. He had me digging trenches and manholes in the back garden for weeks so that I got some practice before he unleashed me on the real thing. Practice makes perfect.

Didn't help much when I thought about the other kids playing at home while I drove a tandem roller over steaming hot rolled asphalt, though!

My Dad told me he'd buried some gold coins his grandfather had given him in our backgarden if I found them I could keep them. Dug the whole backgarden over before realising that maybe the gold coins didn't exist, but the vegetables grew well that year!!

When I was a kid, on some weekends, my dad used to take me to an American Legion, a bar for veterans. Strangely, I learned a lot in that bar and the area around it.....nobody ever mentioned straight razors though, in fact, I don't recall anyone ever talking about shaving. I did learn what a mantra was though, Dad had one: Gimme another "Cah-lings" in the Quincy MA accent he never lost.

I find it useful to just hold the razor in position when I'm trimming the cut off rod with a file - stops it sliding about.
