    Very nice. Are the razors matching? If they are, are you breeding a 7 day matched set?

    The razors are a near perfect match. They are all four 17's by J.A. Henckels, in carbon steel. One of them is a little older than the other three, as it has a slightly different tail. The 17's are hard to find in carbon steel and in very good condition. I think I will be content with the set of four and not got to seven. At some point I may do carved scales or something similar to up the set, but that will be a much much later project if it ever happens. Seven is a tough one because I always feel that if the blades are all matching then the spines need days of the week engraved. I have a few sets of four, the others were made as sets of four. I kind of like fours and pairs at this point. Thanks for the kind words on the box and set. I have eight more boxes planned. At that point I should have my stuff somewhat organized.

    Great looking box Shaun!
    May your lather be moist and slick, the sweep of your razor sure, and your edge always keen!
