Thoughts on this "7-Day set" and two others?
Hi guys,
I was inspired by some of the displays you've posted and went to an antique mall today to look for something I could repurpose and a scuttle. No luck on either of those, but I did come across a few razors I was interested in. The owner will be back in tomorrow and I'm planning to go speak to him, but would love to have your thoughts first.
The "7-Day Set"
The box for the set says Joseph Rodgers, but 6 of the 7 blades are George Butler & Co. They all have a picture of Shakespeare and a (slightly) misquoted line from one of his works. The blades all look to be in really good condition, as well as the scales on 5 of them. On the 6th, there's a significant chip in one of the scales. The 7th razor has no markings and is not in great condition... probably just thrown in to make a full set. He's asking $195.

The Mulcoto
I'm honestly notfamiliar with Mulcoto. The razor felt great, had a weight that was really comfortable, and the blade seemed nice. In this pic, it looks like a tiny bit ofcorrosion on the edge, but I really didn't notice it while holding it. I'll look again tomorrow.

The Henkel
This one felt similar to the Mulcoto, and was in the same condition.. I'm not sure on the price, since there wasn't a tag, but I'll ask tomorrow.

If I do end up with any of these, it will be an exciting day tomorrow... my 7/8 Ralf Aust from SRD should be getting here, too!
