I think the lesson here is clear:

The only way to make progress is to be on the margins.

I believe I posted this before:



Of course, the nice thing about collecting beer is that when you run out of room to store/display it, you just drink some of it.

I 'collect' just about everything else, though. Guitars (easily displayed by hanging as 'decoration' on wall hooks), motorcycles (not easily displayed or stored), LPs, books, antique razors and lighters (these three don't get displayed, just stored), cut/pressed glass, pint glasses (eventually will be displayed when I finish building the bar), tools (not displayed, used), garden tractors (does 2.5 count as a collection?). Yeah, it certainly IS a fine line between hoarding and collecting...

It looks like a suppository with a claw at the back...

The ship is kinda weird looking, too.

Oh, wait, you said MOST beautiful. Never mind.

It certainly looks like a West Texas Highway

Do you like the Merkur razor? The couple I've tried have WAY too much blade gap for me and they tear up my face.
I've had the best luck with old Gillettes. Mostly I use a Fatboy and a Tech. I have a really old (~1920) Gillette "old style", but I have to be in a very patient mood to use it. The blades basically stick out past the body of that one by several mm, so it is more like using a straight razor.

Badger or boar hair brush, safety razor or straight razor if I have time, GOOD shaving cream!

I also have an automatic dog exerciser. It's called a another (younger) dog.

I still get annoyed when I visit Austin and they pronounce Guadalupe street "guad-a-loop".
