Shave Newbie
Been hoping Eric would come give the breakdown on his. Always been curious. I know he's been real busy though.
I wanted something new with the new site so I went with the Monkey I made famous through bingo. Also because Dummy Account doesn't roll off the tongue.
I have been assuming that his has a minor relation to Rocky and Bullwinkle
I just sounded it out.
Thats an interesting way to select a username!
By the way, if you hit the topics button, it will show you every current thread and highlight the ones you haven’t read yet. I never miss a single post that way!
I thought about it for a while and settled on Blade-meister not because I've mastered wet shaving, but that I am a flintknapper who can make blades from flint, I'm a blacksmith who eventually will be able to make decent blades from steel, and now I'm using a blade to shave my face. Seems my life is surrounded with blades of one shape, kind or another.

Very fun, classic skills to know!
My father and I, when I was younger, dabbled a bit in knapping obsidian. Quite an involved and fun process!
It does take a while to master it, and I'm not quite there. I've been knapping for 16 years or so, but have only been blacksmithing for 2 years doing mainly things I can put to use around my shop, making tools for the anvil, and things put to use around my house. I once hit a rock with my lawn mower and was able to straighten out the blade. The blade was brand new so I was thankful I could fix it correctly without any vibration or anything.
My freshmen year at the University of Arizona, first weekend in the dorms me a a few guys from my hall decided to play some texas holdem. I had decided to put on my straw cowboy hat earlier that day and had not yet removed it so they all started calling me cowboy since i was from Oklahoma originally. After that i started using uacowboy for my gamertag and just stuck with it.
Oddly i have been called a cowboy several times in my life by people who had no knowledge of the name or my background. Not sure what it is really since i rarely wear hats other than a ballcap and only started wearing boots as my main footwear about 5 years ago due to having to occasionally walk outside at night for work and my office is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. I have seen diamondbacks 3 times while checking door alarms.

\nI remember that from my grandpa, like really rough sandpaper.
I had the same experience, with both of mine. Hated giving them hugs for that reason.
Mine is very simple: my whiskers are gray, and '57 is my birth year. I'm a C-1, like my Red Tip.
I'd wear boots, too!
Yes, the staute of limitations is long over. Details, man, details!
