    Default 11/16 Mappin & Webb - Quarter Hollow

    Unfortunately this razor has some devil's spit, otherwise it would be perfect.
    Jimps on the bottom of the fancy tang and non-bone natural scales.

    I'm about 90% sure I honed this razor, but I honestly don't really remember.

    I'd like $155 shipped with tracking within the US, but feel free to make an offer.

    I can't hone, would you be able to make shave ready? I'm getting ready to polish up some other blades, new for me...can the "Devils spit" be polished off?

    Apologies for new guy questions :-)

    Thank you

    A few members are having a discussion about the rust spot on the edge... Could you maybe describe the impact this has on the razor's ability to take a good edge? Is it deep, or would you say you can get a clean bevel?

    Maybe you can't see it in the photo, but it doesn't go to the edge. The bevel is clean, and from how it cuts hairs, I'm 99% sure I honed and shaved with this razor. Given that the blade is a quarter hollow, it's not an issue.

    Nice form but I think I'm too new to make a good judgement...if it shaves and holds a bevel I'm sure it will make someone with more knowledge very happy. Wish you luck in the sale. Thank you for your response.

    Sold. Am I supposed to lock it, or do mods do that?

    Also if you post in your own thread here in the BST, you can see 2 checkboxes underneath the post window, where you can select 'close thread'. if you post.
