I never really liked the idea of a seven day set, simply because i find the idea of shaving with essentially the same razor day after day a tad boring. If you didn't actually DO this (use the set as designed) unless you used the same razor (when you opened the set) you'd never know which of the seven may need honing (unless you tried them all). Also, if you didn't use all seven, the others would just sit there getting duller and needing some maintenance.
If one DID use a set consistently, you'd then need to eventually hone all seven razors, which seems quite a chore.
I'd rather rotate an interesting collection of disparate vintage razors. Of course, the razor's I've bought all up have been about the same cost of a seven day set...
I have never honed or used a razor out of my seven day set. It's nice to have and to hold. I don't think I'd get another set unless it was like this Messer der Woche
In that it is something that Really raises my eyebrows.
Come on Bill, you ain't that old ....... :rofl2:

Thanks for weighing in...It seems like most aren't really into these sets, or were at one time and grew tired of the repetition.
With time to think about this, I definitely leaning towards putting real effort into a great box/case to hold my razors...maybe just label the slots....
Eagles - After The Thrill Is Gone
Just to show I wasn't completely Off The Reservation
BUT, to be honest, I'm embarrassed that The Eagles occurred to me before BB King
I got this interesting Wilkinson Pall Mall case of supposed to be three razors, was only two, but I have another that will fit in the case, have taken this before travelling and it's worked great. Got the Pall Mall's and case for approx $100, they're 4/8th, and they shave like a dream!!
This is about the extent I'd be willing to go for a box of the same blades...nice and convenient for travel.

I had a set of two, boxed like that, of those Wilkinson razors. Sold it a few years back. Still have the four day set seen at this link here, unusual I think, and they shave nice. Why a 3 or a 4 day set ? Guess it was to give the guy who couldn't spring for the 7 day set a more affordable alternative. Here is one of my 7 day sets that has never been used. Not by me nor those through whose hands it has passed. We're custodians of this museum piece. :p
