    Nice. I had thought about picking the one up off the classifieds but I chose a different blade.
    Shaving with facial hair is like a golfcourse. It's a challenge of rough and fairways. You are the skilled greenskeeper of your face?

    No tears, no scotch, no hones, but what the hell are you doing, cheetah? Yep. That one's pitty and the blade etching is gone. Musta been really rusted at some point. 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!

    I was looking at the pix and wondering if that razor was designed as a shaver and a blood letting tool ? Seriously. The end looks like a Fleam.

    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!

    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.

    Aye Cheetahman. Tis a death duel with Lancet edges you contemplate? Perhaps we shall see how you fare in the challenge peviously given by the Mighty Magpie in your own countrie. Duels in Texas are not always as fairly decided as in your "Sparta"! A loser here will not spoil the well, but shall be staked down on a bed of fire ants.


    This Here's TEXAS!

    I love my Lancet. Good luck with yours, they really are beautiful shavers.
