The Straight Razor Acquisition Thread

Beautiful Steve. Love that old W&B stamp.

 

Thank you Tom!

 

Had to bite on this one…
The Mappin & Webb Lancet Edge razor is a unique and beautiful design to me. I’ve gotten close on a few, and remember a post of someone a few years back ordering a custom from Rigarazor. I thought that it looked amazing.

Fast forward and I got an opportunity to pull the trigger…

Rigarazor’s interpretation of the Lancet Edge design.

Some beautiful work, and a razor I keep picking up to look at. Oh, and it is quite the beast at 10/8.

Already took it for a spin and it was a complete blast of an experience… so fun.
Happy hunting.
Tom

 

Tom, that’s an amazing shoulderless design! Kind of big for me, but I appreciate your enjoyment of it. I have one razor that exceeds 8/8. I have a run of the mill Rigarazor! Sergej is quite good at what he does! Enjoy it!

 

What a beauty Tom congrats!

 

Thanks guys! I am a fan of his work… the seller had a 12/8 that I just couldn’t pull the trigger on and stay married.

 

That is one beautiful razor. Can I borrow it??

.

 

Definitely… it is a great candidate for a pass around.
Thanks Scott!

 

Well there - that’s quite the knockout

What are those scales?

 

Much appreciated Karl.
I’m not sure about the scales. They are some dyed wood, but I can’t place it.

 

Couldn’t resist too buy this one while I was purchasing some Proraso products…

You gentlemen know that I like pairs, and I scored Hishakaku 500 #2 this morning, also unused to go with the first one. The one that I already have is one of the finest made razors that I have, 1/4 hollow yet so thinly ground at the edge that the bevels are hard to see! The name comes from the 1960s cult film about Yakusa honor, and means rook-bishop from shogi, or Japanese chess.

Gorgeous razor Steve! Congrats.

 

Thank you Tom!

 

Is that a current razor Hans?

Cheers, Steve

 

Hi Steve,
Yes it is, perhaps it is different models in different markets?
