Shaving Paste.
From an English paper we clip the following receipe to make a capital preparation to coat a leather razor strop For this you may prepare the emery powder for yourself, and by so doing provide yourself with the finest emery ; those who make a prMtlei of doing it nay th<\v c*n buy
nothing like what they can" niake\ Get some of the ordinary fernery powder, and pound" It thoroughly in a mortar, throw it into a large jug of water, and stir it well ; a? soon as thelar-— ;y ieg h^ sunkf pour off the water containing the dust into large shallow plates or basins, and let the water evaporate, and you have the prepared emery left behind ; If you do not care to go to that trouble, get the finest emery powder reduced to an impalpable dust, of this use two parts well mixed with one part of spermaceti ointment, and mb that over your strop. Another welt spoken of razor-paste is composed of jewellers' rouge, black lead, and suet in equal parts, well mixed together.
