A while back I was contacted with a request to make a Mappin Lancet but change it up a little.
I thought it would be pretty cool! So even though it took longer then it should have and I donated a good bit of steel to the junk pile... her she is..
7/8, the frame is 01 tool steel and the blade is a low layer pattern welded steel.
The scales are ivory with silver pins. To keep thing looking somewhat old, I used a lead wedge.
Soon to be packed up and headed out.
A VERY handsome creation.
NICE!!!!!!
Brian, very nice. This is a very interesting razor.
How is the blade held in the frame?
Great Work.

That is a slick piece!
Yeah, a Mappin & Webb Lancet was one piece forged and ground to the shape we are familiar with . I had one at one time and it was impressive workmanship. Nice job on your version of it.Quote:

Thats a stunning razor. Well done! Would it be hard to make a removable blade frameback al la leCoultre?
Stunning for sure love the design!
What an impressive-looking razor. It is beautiful; a stunning work-of-art.
Congratulations!
Hard to add to what was already said. I feel that saying nice work is an understatement. Wow!
That is a beautiful razor, it is very classy looking.
I have had the exact same idea about making Mappin Lancet style razor. You beat me to it and made a wonderful razor.
Great work

Way nice Brian! A respectful beauty with assured efficiency. Nice.
beautiful design. beautiful.
Man even my wife thinks that is beautiful!:D
I kinda miss the in-between stepped grind
You nailed it Brian, Nice! Regards Kenny
Well, I'm the lucky owner of this beautiful new razor. I approached Brian before Christmas last year about making a modern version of the Mappin Lancet Edge. He was in the process of some experimentation regarding thin Damascus blades at the time so after some discussion, we decided to go with that. For me, the defining element of a Lancet Edge is the bulbous nose. I think that Brian has captured this perfectly. I was able to get some pre ban ivory off a member here so we decided to go with that for the scales. Lastly, the we copied the original lead wedge to give it a more authentic feel. Brian is an absolute pleasure to deal with. His attention to detail and willingness to experiment makes having a custom razor made a very easy process. The finished product far exceeded my expectations and it's better than the image I had in my mind of what it would look like. I can't wait to get in my hand and actually feel it and shave with it.
oh wow...thats an amazing piece of work...very nice!!! thanks so much for sharing that with us :)
As always, absolutely gorgeous work Brian!
