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

I have finally managed to complete my long-running project of two 7-day sets. One of American-made barber's-notched blades from different makers in MOP scales and one of different old Henckels grinds in vintage carved bone.
The last installment of this project can be viewed here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...1-12-14-a.html . Links at the beginning of each thread will go back to the beginning, two at a time.

To complete the sets, the last 2 razors have been finished. An old Empire Beardsley and Alvord wedge for the American set and an old Henckels #94 'Columbus' razor with a nice double-grind and a flat-top spine.




the boxes for the sets were made by Tomas, who is a fine carpenter in the millwork shop behind my business, out of leftover Corian countertop material.


I had 2 spare sets of scales in case anything should be broken during the project and fortunately, I did not need them!
I decided to include the spare scales in the bottom of the sets after I figured out a way to 'upholster' the boxes within my redneck limits. An upholsterer, I am NOT! So taking the spare bits of pearl and the bone scales, I fixed them up, installed sized collars, and double-stick taped them in the bottom of each box between two 7-wrench organizers and created a wooden basswood frame which fit loosely around it all. A dessicant pack could not hurt, I thought!
