The day I stopped trying to edge wet concrete with a hand trowel

Used to spend 20 minutes on every driveway edge trying to get a straight line freehand, usually ended up with wavy edges that looked terrible. Then last summer on a big patio job in Boise, a older guy walked by and told me to use a 2x4 as a straightedge guide, now I knock out clean edges in under 5 minutes. Has anyone else found a simple tool that changed how you do a basic step?

Have you tried just telling the concrete to behave, or do you actually need a tool for that? Sounds like @nathan851 has found his signature style.

I mean I still make wavy edges but now they're just consistently wavy.
