The Gentleman's Set

**Gasman** · 03-06-2017, 09:56 PM

Ive seen the Henckel set and the germany sovinier set a lot but its always the same two and that makes me wonder. Think id rather have an older.set but we will see. The Henckel is nice looking. The tangs look covered.

I don't have my grubby hands on them yet but... I bought a 7 day set! Yea for me!!!
Mappin and Webb, Queen Elizabeth dressed in Ivory. 5/8 round point. I had a nice offer from a member here that seen I was interested in getting a set. Wasn't ready to throw down the funds but he offered me a price I couldn't pass up so I bit. Should be here on Saturday. Can't wait! Although they need a bit of cleaning and honing. One has a crack at pivot pin and there is a bit of corrosion on the tangs but not on the blades. I think I'll be happy with this being my first set. Now if I can just give-up the credit card!

I got this nearly complete necessaire from ebay for very cheap and stuck a pair of my razors in it, and am very pleased with the result. The case will need some more work but I have begun to clean it up and fix a few small condition issues as well as replace the mirror. The bottles are all ground glass with sterling silver fittings.

It is a shame I can only hit the like button once.

I second that Rez.

That is a really really nice set. Great find

Just sedated the SAD couple weeks ago with a Kanayama and promised the wife I'd pull it in until we buy a house. Resisting the HAD right now as I convince myself NOT to get a Nani SS 12K (need to prefect my 4k/8k first anyway). And now I have a 7 day RAD thanks to this thread.
Think the technical/medical term for you guys is "Enabler".

Seriously nice bladeS gentleman!
