35a.Nacre

[donny48]

tip of razor=r
lance with l(line) thrown away
anagram of ance+r

[emeritus]

Tip of Razor = R

Anagrame of Lance with L removed (speared)

?

[dannyk13]

Extra letter (l)ance then r(azor) + anagram of ance,

[pomona]

Thanks chaps... as i thought .....will have to rethink my other extra letters as the letters round there don't make any sense

[DocHH]

The extra letter is the e of speared, so L is spared.
