Thanked: 3Well - not that I needed but consoled my disappointment with a nice classic 6/8 tungsten with rams horn scales ! Did get I at a very nice price as a get out for not having to grind another lancet ! Funnily it was this image I sent Sergejs - think it obviously sent a chill down his spine when he saw it again!

Congrats - I don't think you can go wrong with anything he makes, especially in the Tungsten IMO.
Classic lines, intricate grind work, he really does beautiful work....sheesh, I've got 4 of them, the last one he did was his homage to this 9/8 Wade & Butcher (pic attached) chopper that I have, one of my favourite razors, and he did a spectacular job, or as he told me, he "improved" on it! :-)

Thanked: 3Very nice re-scale on the original! Think I saw an image of Sergejs replication whilst searching for info on the lancet ( yep nice work indeed)
This was the runners up prize ! I really like its simplicity and clean lines! If it shaves like the 8/8 I have it’s a definate for ever keeper!

Thanked: 3To be fair I have a new Thiers which I’m now considering selling as I’m so smitten with the shaves from the tungsten 8/8 ! All I need to do now is intercept the postman before he gets to the front door with the new one !
What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!

Thanked: 3Oooo - sat on the sideboard on my return from work - a parcel from Latvia, posted Monday (Latvia) delivered Friday (UK) not too shabby at all !
Razor beautiful packaged (too much so as took to long to open with slathering mouth). Exquisite in every detail , photos did no justice. If the 8/8 could be described as a manly bruiser, a masculine blade then this is lithe, svelte dare I say femmine in comparison. Rams horn scale polished to a near mirror finish, opalescent almost transparent , blade visible through but reflects light back through!
Unfortunately it was delivered whilst I was at work so failed to intercept the post man! Never mind better be hung for a sheep than a lamb!!!
Oh n for all you guys thinkin “p***y” afraid of ya wife - let me tell you I ain’t frightened- she’s a fkn redhead - I’m absolutely terrified !😉

Thanked: 7Received huge pleasure from this themes. Recently, too, bought a Mappins Shilling razor. I have a question. Does anyone know when the sun logo disappeared from razor Mapping? On strazors.com written when this logo appeared next to the surname Mappin -1810. But it doesn't say when he disappeared. Somewhere I met this information, but I do not remember where exactly.
I also noticed that the sun faces on the strazors. com and on different razors different. And the number of rays on my razor and Sharptonn's razor is also different. I wonder what that meant.
