    Very nice set. What kind of "point" would you call that?

    It's sort of the "true" french point from early XIXth.

    Pradier's also often have those notch.

    As I previously said, wonderful seven day set...!

    I'm really keen on this type of razors, great brand... A wonderful pick-up.

    I myself recently bought a travel writing set of marine, in wood.









    I'll put in it various items about shaving and writing, including my pen holder in tortoise, got plenty of that.

    The different spine work on the razors is beautiful.
    Smarter than I look or, not as dumb as I look. Whichever you prefer.
