    Vintage Shaving

    Sharpening straight razors I've thought about trying a straight razor, and am not terribly worried about cuts. After all, what's a little blood in such a manly man pursuit? My concern was how to hone the razor, stropping, etc. Any advice? Cheers. Harry.

    Cowboy Boots

    Are cowboy boots hot? Do Lounge members from hotter areas, say the southwest, find cowboy boots hot to wear? What socks make the most sense? Light wool? Presumably cotton is a no-no. Harry.

    Scouting anyone?

    Queen's Venturer Thought I'd better join the list. I'm a Queen's Venturer, roughly equivalent to an Eagle Scout. Hiking, camping in all seasons, woodcraft, etc. etc. Still stands me well. Of my current friends, almost ten of them are also Queen's Venturers from 35 years ago.

    Keep It Under Your Stetson

    In Britain and Canada, there was a similar expression: "Loose lips sink ships." Not sure if it moved any hats, though. Regards, Harry.

    Installing a wind string

    I want to install a wind string/stampede string in a western felt hat. Do I just punch the holes and feed the string (likely will use leather thong) through without using grommets. It's a camp draft that I am westernizing that I will be doing this to. Thanks Harry.

    Sahara Hotel and Casino closing

    I got back from my first trip to Vegas in January. Made a point of going to the Sahara to play the $1 tables. Diamond Jim. It was a real blast from the past. Harry.

    Great War Thread?

    Bartenders - where to put "The Great War" thread? Any suggestions? Seems like there is some interest. High regards, Harry.

    Great War Thread?

    I know it's a little before the Golden Era, but I am interested in starting a Great War thread. We do have precedents for periods earlier than the Golden Era, for example, Campaign Hats. Comments? Regards, Harry.

    Dr Martens

    Doc Marten's Queen St. Toronto +1 - I was in the recently-opened Dr. M's store in Toronto. The stuff is all Chinese made, and the materials seem very insubstantial. Harry.
