I received an email notice that I've been gone for long enough to get a notice...sorry I haven't been around much lately, but the new job has me quite busy.

I have an engagement coming up at a primitive rendezvous (pre-1860's) where I will be demonstrating how to load a muzzleloader. I've done this demonstration for several years, and this year, I decided to give a straight razor shave demonstration each day in the early afternoon.

I'll let you guys know how it goes. I'm thinking of using one of my Sheffield steel wedges and Tony Miller strops. The only dig...heating water over a campfire to get it hot enough to shave with.
