    straight razor shaving

    I've bought all of my shaving items from Straight Razor Design. They have soaps, strops, razors, etc. I got my razor from them and my strop. I got the wider strop so I can strop my razor without having to do any fancy stuff. The cloth side of the strop is for sharpening and some honing. I use...

    straight razor shaving

    That is exactly how I taught myself to shave using a straight razor. The videos were very helpful. I have seen the ones on how to strop and hone. Also very helpful. I've also bought a couple of vintage books on shaving and I have a video I bought from Straight Razor Designs that is great...

    I was just posting this to show you what probably happened and why. I wasn't offended or upset or anything. Just trying to help clear up the situation. :thumbsup:

    Self defence carry?

    Self defence carry?

    Yes, but this one is a cap and ball. Just looks like a 1873 Colt.

    Not if it's a rifle. Read through the threads that talk about accuracy using buckshot in a rifled barrel. Not good.

    I suggest you read the Forum rules about posting. I believe this is the reason you're URL showed up the way it did. From the rules: 28: Do not post links to sites that contain Muzzleloading Forums. Along the top of the forum you'll see a tab that reads as "Forum Rules". :thumbsup:

    Self defence carry?

    This might work for your needs. It's a black powder ML but looks like a Colt Peacemaker. I'm thinking that you could get one with a shorter barrel and it would be a good carry gun. http://www.ubertireplicas.com/product/1873-cattleman-new-model-b-p/

    Suggestions and questions

    For what it's worth, I would go for the Pedersoli Kentucky rifle. I own one and love it. I would suggest that you get a .45 cal so that you could use it for rabbit, squirrel, and even deer if you feel so inclined. The one you posted is a good price. I bought mine off of a guy on GunBroker for...

    Pyrodex Powder

    Don't use hot water. It can cause flash rusting. Use luke warm and you'll have better results. Then just run patches down the barrel and finish off with some g96 to keep it from getting any rust.

    Pyrodex Powder

    if you have a Bass Pro shop near you then you should be able to get real Goex Black Powder. I buy my BP from the local Bass Pro. You have to ask the manager usually because the average sales guys don't know they sell it and will tell you they don't.

    The over the top villian

    IMHO it was horrible. Strayed far from history and facts. But I'm interested in what others have to say. :pop:

    I've never been a chest man. I'm more of a leg man myself. But I do play chess from time to time. :rotf:

    Notable shooting experiences

    Many years ago, after getting some practice with my CVA Hawken model rifle. I went shooting with a friend. He was interested in my CVA but really not in muzzle loaders. He brought a AR-15 and I had my ML. He put up a clay bird and it was a contest to see who could hit it at 50 yards. He took a...

    straight razor shaving

    I'm also a fan of and use a fountain pen. My wife thinks I'm crazy for doing so, but she also says I'm crazy for shaving with a straight razor. Honestly, it's the closest and best shave I've ever had.

    Traditions Kentucky?

    I was leaning towards the Traditions model but heard some not favorable comments on it and the work that it takes to get the flintlock to work on one. I did some looking on GunBroker and found a great Pedersoli Kentucky in .45. I got it for $500 shipped directly to my door. I've been very...

    Less interest in my caplocks

    Last I looked at the part of the forum this post thread was in, it was the flintlock section. Maybe you should stick to the caplock section and you'd be much happier. :v
