Obviously I am way late on commenting on this video. I watched it when it originally came out and just watched it again. Congratulations on formally recognizing the 5 year mark although I understand that it coincided with at a difficult day of remembrance. And I hope the new career adjustment is continuing to work well. 
I have occasionally thought about whether I could ever return to a more traditional role working for a company or group. But, I may have gone completely feral at this point Smile 

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and thank you for all of the guidance provided, directly, and through your videos.

Thanks Dave for the kind words and I know what you mean about being feral Big Grin I had a few offers from my friend but this because it was just a part time gig to start was a good bridge for me to see if I will be happy. Still have some of my own customers I've Kept on but when the chance comes for this to go fulltime I will probably do it. It was a good way to transition after so long on my own. Have a great day !

Wow, great video Dave... I definitely got some tough lessons out of it. I am very much in that camp of short attention span... it works or it goes, without the excess effort that is likely needed.

I have a modern tech, in my bathroom for display. I might force myself to use that for a month or something to see if I can't get a good shave with practice. I've always had trouble finding that sweet spot angle of Techs, but I've always given up rather quickly. Might be a good New Year's challenge?

Appreciate the video, lessons, and words of wisdom. Have a great Sunday.
