    Oh, and for cleaning the cylinders, I prefer to use a bigger bore brush. For .38/.357s, I like to use a .40 bore brush.

    A real man would be unable to answer anything other than an 18. Those of us possessing the foibles and shortcomings of mere mortals must settle for the 'lesser' numbers.

    I shoot revolvers in 7 calibers, there is a razor strop in my bathroom and a shaving brush with a mug of soap and the only aftershave for me is bay rum, I believe in boxers, that t-shirts are underwear, ankle socks are for girls, and John Moses Browning is an American Hero. I am a vet as well...

    My man card is paid in full.

    I'm not sure how serious I could take anything from that site. The cleaning bit wasn't too bad but the whole site gets a thumbs down for the article about props for magic and having it listed as a manly skill.

    There's a ton of other good stuff on there. Wet shaving; making your own corn cob pipe; wilderness survival tips... As it says, it's about recovering a lost art -- an art mostly lost among the numerous city folk. Things that are commonplace to those fortunate enough to grow up in the country are, as you know, often completely foreign to those who grew up in the city, and Art of Manliness has a lot of useful stuff for us city slickers.

    Wet shaving is for wimps. Ask my son. I came home from work a couple weeks ago to find him sporting a good sized nick above his lip. Seems he'd decided it was time to start shaving at the ripe ole age of 10. So, he went into the bathroom, grabbed an old crappy disposable razor I had sitting out, and went to work.

    No shaving cream. No water. Old blade. Now, that's how REAL men do it!!

    If revolvers are so "manly", how come they get pushed onto every newbie gunchick?
    :p

    Because this is a manly revolver...
