    As I previously said, wonderful seven day set...!

    I'm really keen on this type of razors, great brand... A wonderful pick-up.

    I myself recently bought a travel writing set of marine, in wood.









    I'll put in it various items about shaving and writing, including my pen holder in tortoise, got plenty of that.

    The different spine work on the razors is beautiful.
    Smarter than I look or, not as dumb as I look. Whichever you prefer.

    I think this pair of Nowill razors fit the description of a gentleman's set. I was very fortunate towards the end of last year that they went almost unnoticed on Ebay. Beautiful razors and excellent shavers both.

    My service is good, fast and cheap. Select any two and discount the third.
