Thread: Mappin & Webb custom in Honey Horn

This was one I could not wait to get on my bench, Ogershok sent me pics of it and I was all in...
We decided on Honey Ox Horn for the scales, I used an slightly modified TI point design for the wedge end... The horn was polished out to 12,000 grit then I used Ren-Wax to finish it off... The wedge is Faux Ivory with Brass liners, oh so much fun to use acrylic with Brass liners
All Brass hardware holds it all together...

The blade was bit of a challenge with the Lancet/Dreadnought style point, it was way to easy to catch that point on the buffing wheels and either break it off or toss the blade... After working the blade and looking at the way the stamp sits I began to think that this razor might have been re-ground sometime way back in it's life or perhaps this design was factory...
The spine was/is clean of hone marks so I have no clues there...
I can't wait to get this one on the hones tonight and try out the test shave
