Thread: The Gentleman's Set

Poplar would be my choice also,very easy to work,very soft yet stable.
Is an interesting wood,Is one of the few softwoods that is classified as a hardwood because the tree is deciduous,(drops leaves in the fall)
Can be stained to look like walnet, can be ebonized to look jet black like real ebony.
And it is real inexepensive

Thanks Guys,

I knew this was the right place to ask the question.

Sorry to take so long to reply, but my internet went down last night. I wasn't able to get back on until this morning.

Finally, after one month of trip (for guilt of the Christmas, the Day of the Year and Epiphany...) - and a lot of my worry - has arrived of England this weekly set Joseph Rodgers, 11/16", engraved spine, barber notch and handles in ivory without defects.

Not a shaving set but a writing one I just fell in love with on the bay :



It will get along surprisingly well with my shaving set, same type, same inkpot.

I'm really happy !

Here are a few untouched pairs.

Bagshaw and Sons


Joseph Smith



Wish I had an ivory box like ScienceGuy's! I could fill it!

Joining the Gentleman's Set, so here's the 7 Day set I picked up from another fellow in Toronto, it's a Ed Wusthof 7 Day Set “Solinger Wertabeit".

It's in perfect condition, I've always liked the Ed Wusthof blades, and the 3 pin blades sold me.

Don't really know much about the age of the set, it's in a new box with the original lining etc...but I've shaved with the Tuesday blade and they really are great blades.





Cheers!

Really neat !

Wusthof is a well-knowed dutch oops : german house I'm sure you'll enjoy it !

I receive myself my writing set today, and I'm really happy of my purchase !

And I bought just after a stunning penholder, silver en tortoise.







I'm going to enjoy myself writing mails.

But still looking for my self-moderation.. If you see it, I'ld be really happy if you could send it back to me.

Beautiful pen! If I'm not mistaken, the sharper end allows you to "scrape"or erase the ink from a page if an error is made?

The silver and tortoise is gorgeous...would that be mid 1850's?

I would say earlier, but I'm not really aware of the dating of this kind of pens.

Ink eraser, or perhaps also for the opening of mails and wax seals ? It'll be useful anyway.
