Anyone having fun with other hobbies?

Our wet shaving isn't new, but we all value it more since we've learned to make it fun and try to make it maximum enjoyment, while making it a hobby. A great forum like "The Shaving Den" really helps.
I've also started buying quality dress shoes from estate sellers on Ebay. But their is no quality forum like "The Den" for men's shoes.
What other hobbies have you added the past few years, besides wet shaving?

 

Have you tried Fedora Lounge?

 

Thanks for the tip on the forum on dressing well. I'll take a look.

 

Reef tank, fishing, and cars.

My buddy, who I got into wetshaving, is building me a racing simulator. Can't wait!

 

It's not a hobby, but more an interest. I have always been interested in theatre architecture. I regularly visit modern or classic theatres, single screen cinema's (movie palaces) etc. I enjoy reading about the renovation of classic theatre's whether in the UK or North America.

 

Great hobby. I live across the river from Fargo, ND. The once vaudeville "Fargo Theater", later became a silent movie theater, complete with elevated theater organ. It's now owned by it's own non-profit and show movies every day of the year. They do have the organ in working order and great organ players.
If you ever come to town, I'll get us both a tour and you can teach me more.

 

I only have one vintage razor so far, but I'm going to start collecting more of them. Aside from this, about five years ago I started collecting scientific, engineering, and mathematical antiques, especially slide rules. I like collecting things like antique planimeters, clinometers, inch counters, compasses, and things of that nature. I also enjoy collecting antique fishing gear.

 

I write. I have a couple of self published books, a short story in an anthology and I am presently working on some children's books. I am disabled and home alone most of the day, so writing helps to pass the time. I would love to collect more, but finances keep my purchases limited.

 

I seem to be collecting grand babies and I'll tell you since I've become a Grandpa my life has completely changed.

 

As a "Papaw" myself, I completely agree. There is nothing like being a Grandpa.

 

Thank you. But I imagine that I would only be able to visit large metropolitan areas such as New York/New Jersey which have a large number of theatres that have been renovated outside of Broadway: The Kings Theatre of Brooklyn, St George Theatre of Staten Island etc. There are easily over 150 classic theatres in the US.
We don't have many, and my nearest 1930's theatre will be demolished soon . But there are some great ones being renovated here too...

Amateur radio here. Nothing like turning on the radio and being able to talk with someone around the world.

 

since I've become a Grandpa my life has completely changed My daughter is what "consumes" the most of my time – and what gives me the most joy too. Ever since her arrival, my previous hobby, cooking (beyond the everyday meals), is on ice.

(I have to add that I think a (hu)man needs a modicum of self-time, i.e. hobby or leisure time. For lack of time, the 15 mins of shaving each morning serve that purpose for me, but it's just barely above the tolerance threshold...)

 

About 3 years ago, my husband & I took up archery. It's taken over the house. We recently figured out that, between us, we have about 100 arrows.

 

Congrats. I understand...

@ARGH what kind of bow do you shoot?

 

My current set up is a Mathews FX.

I too have well over 100 arrows.

 

Mathews makes some very nice bows. Do you hunt or do target shooting? (Hubby & I do target & some 3D.)

 

Hunt and league which is a combo of target and 3D from different positions. League tends to be very rough on arrows as you shoot at the same target as the opposition and a fair amount of robin hooding occurs. Cool when you Robin Hood your own arrows. Not so cool when the other guy is shooting your knocks off.
