At first we were at a Vistapoint ... open pit mine (brown coal) Schleenhain near Deutzen. In the first picture you can see a tilted shovel excavator. The accident was on August, 28th. We visited another attraction. Ferropolis near Graefenhainichen. Here you can see some historical shovel excavators. At this place there are also rock concerts...amazing place, I think.

So many incredible razors showcased today... my entry is giong to seem positively pedestrian!
Last time was the Clauss 6/8 round; today I decided it would be nice to follow up with the 6/8 square.
Stropped 20/60 on the Illinois 127
Conk amber suds, whipped with Conk badger
Aqua Velva musk a/s
Three passes, and an absolutely splendid shave.
Today's bonus photo: The aftershave soldiers lined up at the sink. (l-r: baby oil, Old Spice, Aqua Velva musk, Pinaud Clubman, Brut, Stetson)
Have a blessed Sunday, gents!

Toyo Hashimoto Scheönburg 6/8
Semogue TSN 2012 LE
Pre de Provence ss
Thayers Cucumber Cucumber WH
Floid Vigoroso a/s
Musgo Real a/s balsam
Encre Noir Edt
A few days of not shaving led me to the Scheönburg which I don't use very often, though I don't know why. It's a great blade and always gives me a great shave. The Pre de Provence is one of my favorite soaps and never fails to produce a great lather. Today's shave was one of the best I've had in a long time both in terms of the process as well as the result. I'm a firm believer that the journey is more important than the destination anyway...and while it is hard to say it (since yesterday I spoke to my son who is in Jerusalem and also yesterday we took home a rescue cat) today will be better than yesterday.

I don't use dry flies, for me the streamers imitating small crayfish work well, the carp is the truck of the rivers where I fish,...the fight can last for 15 minutes.....and I use #6 rod & line and a 3x tippet, but the carps are so strong....they always test my backing knot

Razor: Kampf ~1890's
Is that razor seriously from the 1890's? If so, I didn't know DE's were made back then, & thanks for the picture! In any case, it's a very nice razor, I wish I owned one.

Carp are a sport fish in Europe, and I catch them on lures and live bait on Pennsylvania's Allegheny River pretty often while going after other species. You're right though; they tend to be targeted with dough-based bait around here. My dad used to cast dough balls on his larger fly rod and pull in some beasts.
du212, you'd love Pittsburgh's three rivers for carp, as fishermen rarely target them here. We frequently see fish over a meter long.Last edited by DFriedl; 09-09-2012 at 05:24 PM.
