Irrespective of age, appreciation of Old School practices is very common amongst us.
So, what else do you do that it Old School? To kick things off, here is my list:
- Hand sharpen and hone all my knives.
- Clean, condition and polish leather shoes and boots by hand.
- Write with a number of different fountain pens.
- Wear a mechanical watch, or on occasions a mechanical pocket watch.
- Have mechanical clocks in various locations around the home.
- Cook all meals from scratch.
- Maintain a handwritten leatherbound cookbook with original recipes.
- Order knives from blacksmiths, with my own design and metallurgical specifications.
- Look strangers in the eye and wish them good morning or good evening.
- Use Collinite to protect the paintwork on my car.
- Use a 35yo high end turntable and valve amplification to play my vinyl collection.
- Listen to albums from start to finish to get the complete experience, rather than cherry-picking tracks.
