I have one of those except that mine's a spike. Perhaps this one is a spike that's been tamed a bit.
Mapin & Webb made the most excellent razors; definately worth bidding on.
I had a snipe set on that but I canceled it after I won these:

I have another Mappin & Webb that I really like, and I'd been looking for one of the "nulli secundus" razors for a while. They don't seem to pop up that often, I say go for it.
Mappin & Webb razors shave with the best of them. Definately worth a bid since you don't see them often. Looks like that one will take a bit of cleaning though.
Frankly, and this is just my opinion, sellers that don't have good detailing pictures their wares do not inspire a warm, fuzzy feeling. It is too easy to hide a major flaw, especially with vintage straights. That said, Mappin & Webbs don't come up too often so I would likely bid if I were after one. But I would bid significantly less. For what it is worth, they do show up in the BST forums on occasion.
