    the handle is steel covered in German silver. All of the blades are
    in excellent condition.
    Each one of the blades, which are engraved with the days of the week,
    snap into the handle and are released by pushing on the small button.
    This set dates back to the 1830’s.
    This set is exactly as I received it. I have done nothing to it.
    Wow Bill, that is one beautiful set! Oh yeah, with the key too!!!!!
    I just now noticed this club. I will have to clean up my Cattaraugus Green Lizard's & post that 7 day set plus my Jaques Lecoultre 7 day set, 4 day set & 2 day set.

    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.

    Looks like a nice set, but if they were mine I'd put them in scales that are correctly shaped for the period.

    Those are definitely period-appropriate shape. In fact, here is a picture from the Lummus collection with a John Barber razor of around that period, maybe slightly later, but the scale shape is nearly the same:

    I'm fairly certain these are the original ivory scales actually.
