Thread: 13 and 14 of 14. Completion of two 7-day sets.

Very pretty work.

sorry Tom, i did read about the tape, but i also saw what i thought were tie wires holding the scales in, now i can look at a larger image i see they are just pieces of cotton holding the washers on.

I have seen a few vintage boxes with a similar interior arrangement. Looks good. I can't imagine how long you spent collecting all the parts and pieces. I'm pretty impressed with Henckels so that set is a little closer to my heart than the other. Nice boxes as well.

Yes, the thread is to keep the collars in their perspective holes as each is sized individually, as explained here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...op-liners.html. Was not necessary on the bone scales because they are lightly pressed through and ground from the backside.

I appreciate that, Shaun. Took a long while indeed to round all the parts up! My inspiration for the interiors actually did come from some old shaving sets I have seen with the fabric folds.

Abolutetly awesome sets
I love the forethought of the spares held in the bases

An amazing idea an execution.

Just magnificent.

Thanks! As rubbing on all the razors, they start to become a blur in a way. Gives time to think about how to do the boxes. The spare scales proved a quandary because the idea was to preserve them in the event that something got dropped. The natural conclusion finally dawned upon me as I figured out how to finish the boxes. Include them!

Thanks, Dave! Quite nice of you!

Tom, That is some of the best overall work that I have seen anywhere. That it is a modern hobbyist/ craftsman that did the work, brings the true value of the collection to the fore. I have worked with MOP and it does not abide mistakes!
Thank you for showing us how the work is done and raising the bar for long term planning and execution.
Sincerely
~Richard

Thanks, Richard. This truly means a lot. I live an humble existance, but adore the finer things in life. I tend to attempt to build things which I cannot afford. Some days are diamonds, some days are stones!
I hope that my razor-nut posts are not misinterpreted. I am really just having fun. I enjoy things from the past and the history behind them as well as bringing them back to life....in my own way, of course! ;

Absolutely magnificent, the craftsmanship takes your breath away. My address is...........
