Looks like a nice strop! I still like my CowHide strop Not looking fit a new one any time soon!

The Dovo is no longer in the best shape, it may need a clean or something. The wife uses hair spray in the small bathroom where it hangs. This is a really nice piece of equipment, it makes the Dovo look like a toy.

The Neil Miller strop will be used only on Sundays when I shave in my bedroom.

Carl, which leather is that? It's a beauty!!! I'm on his waiting list and I know it'll be worth it, but it sure plays havoc with my instant gratification.

My best friend was very mad when he wore out the mittens he had made of horse hide with liners knitted by his Grandfather. He wouldn't stop wearing them though because they were made to be used.

His Grandfather learned to knit when he broke his leg in a logging camp around 16 years of age. While he healed they had to make him useful so they taught him how to knit.

If you can strop and/or hone a razor let alone shave with one you can fix a pull cord!

Howard, it's English Bridle.

Parker, thanks. It took me a year before I bought me second.

Tim, actually, I do (or did) know how to knit. Parts of school holidays were spent knitting scarves for some reason. Also flying kites, visiting museums, eating sandwiches by fountains...

My School holidays were spent working on the farm. That is what we did.

My father milked cows in the morning so we didn't have to work before school but we did it at night.

I miss that! I had to leave the farm to make a living so here I am.

I wish that I could teach my children the lessons that i learned.
