From pairs to seven day sets, heck maybe there were baker's dozens. Let's see those glorious shaving sets once owned by discerning gentlemen from decades past.



Mine is a four day Mappin & Webb, Celebrated Sheffield Hollow Ground, with ebony scales. The blades are marked "Special Steel." I am not sure what that means, but from what I have read, it was supposed to be a harder type of steel the manufacturer used. The set comes in a slim wooden case with brass bolsters and hardware. The dividers are leather. The green satin and felt liners are worn, and maybe someday I will re-line the box. Or not.
