from me you would get some respect knowing that you have the skill to use a sharp blade on your face without cutting parts (well, large parts anyway) off.


but you also get respect from me because you know how to true a wheel.

I don't think either activity is sexy. My older son uses a straight edge and his advice is: keep the blade really sharp.

Any thing is better done well.

I think today our society tends to neglect the skills that our hands are built for. I love learning new skills. I don't think that's sexy either.

Enjoy. I hope you got a strop too.
