    This is a set of Hill & Sons Haymarket England
    Could be wrong but I think I acquired the set from Dylan several years ago.

    Here are some razors that may or may not have been part of a set (there are no marking like days of the week etc.) Three matching 5/8 J Weiss in Ivory, all in excellent condition (bar a few spots of rust.) One has a small crack near the pivot on the face side scale, not sure if it needs any intervention to stop it spreading or not (thoughts?). Apologies to a certain 'guy of science' whom I believe was also after these. Don't worry I'll look after them!








    Thanks!

    Those are NICE. If I was going to use the one with the crack starting, I might scrub out the crack with a tiny brush and mild detergent so as not to disturb the patina. Dry well, and put a smidgen of CA on the crack, wipe off excess fast, and renwax. If I was not going to use, I would leave alone. Use the two with no cracks! Very nice!

    Oh NO!
    A solution! One for each of us! I will take the one with the crack starting in order to keep the peace!

    Does anyone have 52 x 7 day sets? That would be rather cool.
