JAQUES LECOULTRE Set
Okay does this seem odd to anyone else
There are usually One frame and 7 blades
Maybe i am getting forgetful in my old age but I don't remember seeing them with 7 marked frames in the past, it just doesn't make much sense to my OCD brain
Thoughts ???

Looks like that's what it is! :D
-
That does seem kinda odd. Repaceable blade option but no extra blades? You should buy it Glen! Find 42 more blades and 6 boxes and your set for life!
-
Mebbe there are/were some extra blades stashed in the box somewhere? That's what they did on the single ones.
I gave a friend one and he found 2 spare blades in the liner of the box. I had no idea they were there.
-
Never seen that before, 7 day set but with replacement blades. Why bother? :hmmm:
-
I have to say I have never seen one quite like that before. Thanks for pointing it out.
-
Looks like the entire world is hesitant about this one.
-
Yeah...I mean, isn't one enough? Not bad razors, but quite an investment there..
-
I already have one, with a few spare blades, so I am intrigued but not about to lay down the cash. I think I am pretty content to be on the sidelines.

Found a very similar set here. Even one replaced screw.

From what I see JAQUES LECOULTRE only were framebacks so why not?
Save you from replacing the blade everyday and wearing out the screws.

The sets that I have seen are usually as previously stated.
One frame and anywhere between two and seven blades.
It appears though that this is a proper set, given the fact that the frames are marked with the days of the week.
I have two. One with the black scales and one with white scales.
They are fine razors and qreat shavers.
The trick is making sure that they have the original screw that holds the blade, and getting both it and the blade out. I had to submerge one of mine for a week in a baggie with enough PB Blast to cover the screw and channel that holds the blade.
Nice set, but as others have said, a little pricey.
