    What are you missing? Is it a lancet?

    Richard cannot control a Mappin Lancet. Too old! (the razor, I mean!)

    One of you show me a photo and I'll decide who can control what. I just looked it up. I don't have a Lancet but I recently picked up a W & B 11/16 faux frameback w/hollow ground etched on the blade and its end profile damn near matches the Mappin Lancet.

    Old? Me? Talking to an old guy at the grocery store today. He stated 82 and I was shocked because he talked shaky, walked shaky and had shaky thoughts. I still sound 55, look 70 and act like a stupid teenager most of the time (or so I'm told) and I'm only 81.

    Yep, very similar. But yours is prettier, at the moment.

    If I am watching an item and happen to be on the bay when the auction is due to end I might watch the bidding frenzy with some delight to see if someone gets a steal or possible buyer's remorse. My best win happened a few years ago bidding on a hone. I had set my bid and during the last minute or so someone was upping their bid by a dollar at a time. I guess they gave up or ran out of time because I won the auction by $0.05 and well below my max bid.

    Remote hypnosis doesn't work on me. Glass of sherry with dinner. Now I wish I still smoked because I want a cigar right now.

    Glad to see you are feeling better. Uh...can we see a Wade and Butcher which looks as a Mappin Bros Lancet now?
    Don't want to be too much trouble this late!
