Wednesday 9/1/10
Solingen Perlex 5/8
Semogue 1305
Valobra ss
Thayers Cucumber WH w/ aloe
Speick a/s
Anherb a/s conditioner
Vetiver by Carven Edt
After a near disaster on the Tony Miller strop (a bad nick) the Solingen felt smooth throughout the shave. I haven't used the Valobra in a very long time but it yielded a terrific lather that led to a very good two pass plus touch up shave. I've been using a straight on a more regular basis and I think my technique is coming along well.

SOTD Wednesday September 1, 2010
Razor: 13/16 Joseph Rodgers & Sons, Wedge, Hollow Point
Pre-Shave: Proraso Crema Pre Barba
Shaving Cream: Taylor of Bond Street - St. James Collection
Lather Bowl: Ceramic
Scuttle: RAB Ceramic
Brush: Omega Boar
ASB: Nivea replenishing
Aftershave/Cologne: British Sterling Cologne for Men
Results: It ain't scrapping your face with a cheeze grater and goo that's for sure! What a wonderful experience! Shaves like this are what makes a man feel Top Dollar! The Joseph Rodgers is the second oldest razor I have and, it is definately the sharpest and smoothest shaver of the rotation. This old girl is taking wonderful care of me!

Thanks, Robert...
Working with Pointing dogs has been an avocation of mine for a loooong time. Sometimes I think the dogs keep me alive, and it's very rewarding seeing a young prospect come along and fulfill the promise of it's breeding...
Here's a pic of a friend's young (and very talented) Setter pointing old scent. While a dog with experience should be able to distinguish fresh scent from old, and this behavior would be a fault, it's great to see in a pup at this stage of development use it's nose to this extent, and this little Setter has style to burn!
BTW, to reiterate, the pigeons are none the worse for wear! The pigeons are very useful and valuable to us in our work!
Sorry for the off-topic pic..

Yup...
That's known as a "Poker Straight" tail in the vernacular of dogdom... Straight as a string!
