    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.

    I posted these a while ago in Show and Tell, but thought I'd post over here. The most cash I've outlaid in one transaction for razors, but man I love em! Joseph Rodgers 4 day set in ivory.
