The Zen of Honing.

[Fnord5]

Some have mentioned the trance-like state that they achieve when honing.
I now have scientific proof!

I just got my heart rate monitor watch in the mail and tossed it on, just to check what my normal heart rate is.

Wandering around the apartment, and sitting, it's around 85-110.
Sitting here typing, it's at 78-85.

Honing, it was 70-73.

Zen state indeed!


Granted I have no clue what my standard resting rate is, but I do find it interesting that honing drops it so much.

Interesting... I get that zen honing sensation too. Love it!

Very cool experiment!

Maybe doctors could recommend that their patients should take up straight shaving to lower their blood pressure!
