This new 7 day straight set looks nice and has a marketing nice angle as a gift you can have engraved for a special occaision, but the quality is probably that good old cheapo stuff that doesn't take an edge...
What do you think?

Joe.
If it looks too good to be true it probably is!
i wouldn't go anywhere it. To put that into context: on another forum a member is offering a 7 day set for UK350 and sadly I can't justify paying that right now though I thought that was a bargain.
It looks like a waste of moneyQuote:

Now that set for 350UK/550US looks genuinely like a set I would love to have, but is cost prohibitive for me at this time and probably not justifiable until I become more skilled in the shaving arts:)Quote:

Gentlemen,
The devil is in the Details!
Please not that it says in the description Titanium FINISH (I believe thats what it says)
These razors are COATED with an titanium nitride process. This will wear off eventually, leaving you with plain steel, which, if a lower quality, will never shave well again.
I would maybe buy them to give as gag gifts for april fools day. But thats just mho
I emailed this seller, here is the response:
Dear shenry1250,
Hi,
Many thanks for your question.
Yes you are correct that they are made in Pakistan for my company.
Sorry but return shipping from the USA is at your expense.
Kind regards
Roland

There ya go Pakistani garbage steel!!! I would give that Titanium Nitride finish one month to wear off:rant:
They'll be junk, guaranteed. Avoid.
Lol @ Del1r1um! Hapliness... Hehe! :D
Some info for the new members the Pakistani steel is very brittle and hard. It's darn near impossible to get an edge on one as well as an edge that will last maybe through a very few shaves. Chances are your razor was a rear car spring before becoming a razor-LOL!
I've heard they are trying to make better steel but I sure haven't seen anything that indicates it.
Well it's obvious it was Pakistani junk but I think the instruction's on how to shave are worth the price by itself-Har Har.
Just to add to the comments of the others (after all, I started this exercise), don't forget "THE LIST"

I think the instructions should include "get yourself a good razor."
