Thread: Am I missing something

Why isn't this auction blowing up?? J.A. Henckles 7 day shave kit..

Vintage Straight Razor 7 Day Set by Ja Henckels Barbershop Shaving Collectible | eBay

No, why would anyone who is interested inflate that $575.00 minimum? If I wanted it, the battle would start with 15 seconds to closing.

Make sense?

Makes sense but that rule didn't work for the insane SR zombies attacking the reaper that was on last week..

I hope it doesn't sell.. Second offer baby. Lol

I have been watching that auction too. It was previously listed at $625.00 and did not sell but was immediately relisted at $575.00. I would look at the second photo in the top row and check the heel on the blade 2nd from the left and also the toe on the blade 5th from the left. I may or may not be seeing things.

At least one has a crack at the pivot. I can't tell whether they are 4/8 or 5/8. If they are 4/8 I wouldn't want one let alone seven. They are rather plain jane razors. Imagine shaving with 7 razors exactly alike ..... and plain vanilla at that. I would rather buy one or two really cool Henckles, or whatever, than a set like that one. YMMV.

Good point. I will keep my plan of amassing a 7 day dubl duck shave set. two reapers, two wonderedge's, two goldedge's a satinedge. I think it will be a 5 razor set for some time.. lol

from left to right #2 and #4 have been modified it seems. #2 the heel, #4 the toe.Still pretty sweet set IMO.

please educate me. Which ones in 8/8. I have acquired a goldedge in 6/8 and it is like wielding a sword compared to my 5/8 red point.

There are 8/8 DDs, I be live thebigspendur has one, may be wrong about it but for sure someone posted a pic of one at some point. A few months back there was one on ebay as well, it went surprisingly low for the size and the the condition(NOS I think)
