    Default 7 day Ivory Wedge set on Ebay...

    I would love to start a collection with this, but alas they need some real restoration. Would love to know it went to someone here if I can't justify it...

    I´d love to play with this set but I´ve got too much on the project bench as it is and am on vacation.. It has potential, though.

    You will have to do some custom-scaling though.

    Those razors need more than just restoration they need some divine intervention. Ivory restoration is not for the novice. Its tough enough to work with if you know what your doing. even for the expert its slow going and requires special finesse. The stuff will break or crack if you look at it the wrong way.

    I'm sorely tempted as the set was originally sold about 2 streets away from a flat I lived in as a student but I think I'm going to have to be realistic and let them go to someone who knows what they're doing.
