Thanks fer all the responses on the razors. I've ordered one from
Godwins, along with some spectacles to replace my modern frames.
If you look through Godwins site, the razors are under "Pocket Knives" of
all places, I missed it the first couple of times through.

It's C-H-I-C-A-G-O. My home town. Chicago Cutlery is still based there,
with stores in other cities. The main store is a knife-lover's dream (or
was last time I saw it).

Most antique shops have a strop or two around. Check enough places and
you'll find one in good shape. I have two, "Like New," found in this manner.

Subject: Re: MtMan-List: Straight Razors ( stropes and sharpening)
If you rub in a bit of fine car rubbing compound to the rough side of the
oak tan leather
it will do wonders to the sharpening of the razor. If you want sharp
inleting chizzles, if you strop your inleting chizzles similar to a razor
it will help to get the edge. "Old gunsmithing trick". Then go to the
slick side for the final finish. I have a two pieces cemented on a
wooden blocks that i use in the shop, One with rubbing compound and one
with the slick side. You will only need to apply it once cause it will
stay in the grain of the leather almost forever. In effect it gives you
a surgical steel stone effect without the cost of buying a hard arkansas,
and you still have the slick side for the final finish of the razor.

same place . butt you need a good stone and some dimon grit yes dimon as in
ring its the best. put it on a piece of thick balsa wood that is stiff enough
too hold presure of the razor being pushed away from the cut at a 45* angle
be carful not too cut into the grane of the wood. yuo can get the stuff at a
lapadary shop. start out with a good stone then 3 typs of grit heavy medium
and fine its real cheap alittle goes along way.

Subject: MtMan-List: missouri fur trade warehouse in st.louis
the warehouse was at main and chestnut, it measured 26x671/2 feet.the
structure was called the old rock house.it was owned by the missouri fur
company.and others in the trade after lisa died.a small history of the
building going like this it was plain in appearancethe ware house had a gabled
front and two floors.it barely was singed by the fire of 1849.in 1880 it
became a saloon and night club.the national parks service got it in 1936.it
was dismantledin 1939.according to robert moore historian for the jefferson
national expansion memorial the supposed restoration wasreally a
reconstruction because the limestone and other materials had seriously
deteriorated.only ten to twenty percent of the original building was
left.moore said when the project was completed in 1941 the rock house looked
the same as it did in 1818.only 150 stones from the westwall were from the
original building.the rock house was again dis mantled in 1950 to allow the
relocation of some railroad tracksin conjuction with the building of the
arch.the site of the rock house was occupied by the stairs on the north side
of the arch.the remaining stonecan be seen in the northwest galleryof the old
courthouse.[st.louis lost. by mary bartley]

Greetings Blue Rider,
In the event that no one has mentioned it, the towns of Kalama and
Friday Harbor, here in Washington state are named after Kanakas that
worked at Ft. Nisqually now relocated at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma.
Best regards,
