Thread: 6/8+ Mappin Brothers Lancet Edge Razor

Razors like this shave as wedges, IMO. So cheetah, you can sand and polish that thing to your little heart's content.
It should turn out nice!

I had thought about that as well, Jimmy. Is not Lancet another term used for a Fleam? This might have been the all-in-one for an old time barber who cut hair, shaved, and bled ya! Common thing in the day, I understand. Cheetah's has a longer "lancet" than mine, or his spine has been ground back. Also, his has a definite "point" on it!

The end seems to protrude more than most. At the price paid, it IS a Lancet Edge! Shave with it, Cheetah! Let me know how it performs!
Here's mine, About to go into some Ivory scales!

It's not very often that you get a limited edition straight that your mentors have. Congrats on yours JimmyHAD, Sharptonn and Holli4pirating.

I can't forget Wullie. I know Wullies got one of these "paint stirrers". Probably under all of his tobacco and scotch...LOL

Wullie has one. He uses it for a "patch knife"..............Just saying!

CHeeta? you want yours to look like this AFTER your restoration?


That'll be an easy resto. Just hang it outside for the rest of the winter.

OH, EVERYBODY knows your hands are smaller than the one pictured.

Sharpton's right. If you ever decide to shoot muzzle loaders, those lancet razors are AWESOME patch knives.

I don't know what a patch knife is, but I do know my one year anniversary is approaching slowly so I deserve some presents. I'm def afraid to count the amount of razors that I've bought this last year. I forget what thread it was that I was reading but someone compared razors are to men like shoes/handbags are to women...LOL Of course after I declared that I wasn't going to buy any more razors I found 15 new ones on ebay that I have to have.Whats a cheetah to do.

Ah Sharpie! These must be the instruments that ye must duel with me twith. Don ye white gloves and pick up ye musket. Step 20 paces and prepare t be gutted with me Lancet. Then I kick ye into the well (again) screaming

THIS IS SPARTA

Patch knife?? used to cut a patch
for a round ball when loading a
muzzleloading rifle.

I searched Youtube but in all the
videos everyone was using precut
patches.
