Question about mowing the grass [View all]

I don't know if this belongs here, but does anyone use one of those old-fashioned, push-type blade mowers? Are they hard to push? Do you have to rake up the clippings afterwards, or can you leave them? I know you need to keep the blades sharp - would a hardware store be able to do that?
