I went to my first auction (Mebane Auction in Mebane, NC) Friday night after work and won a 7 day straight razor set. I have two 6 of 7 day razor sets already, but this is my first complete set. My others are Wm. Elliot and Schulze. The Schulze is from WWII Germany with leather pouch.

The seller said her grandfather brought it back from WWII. I'm not sure about that. I think it has to be a little later. My Schulze straights have DRGM on the tang that stands for something like "made in the German Reich"

Each razor has a German city name, gold wash, a worked spine, top and bottom jimps and mirror finish. The blade width is from 13/16 to 7/8. Though there are some patina specks and rust on one tang.

They do not appear to have been honed after the factory honing. I believe they have the factory edge. I have several NOS German straights with factory edges that shaved right out of the box. I think that may be true of these. They pop arm hair fine.

There is no manufacturer name on the tangs, only "Gondola, Made In Germany" and on the back Hersei Solingen and an "S" in a double circle.

(I noticed the 6 of 7 day Set thread had blades that look the same, but with
different scales.)
