    Wow, some amazing stuff in here. Here's one of my humble sets:

    A John Mossop, Sheffield pair in faux-tortoise horn (condition is as received).

    My latest, already in the Show and Tell. French, c. 1830s I believe. Manufactured by Pradier, 22 Rue Bourg l'Abbé, Paris.

    And a near-original LeCoultre set with 4 blades (still in the paper packet in the case).

    I'll add a pair of MOPS Keen Cutters. The scales pass the "click" and pin test.
    They may be new blades in an old set, the box is very old. We had a lot of Scandinavians around this area. They had gorgeous scales on their razors. I came upon these by accident. All the good ones, the dealers say, are gone.
