    Mike, I'm betting you would scout ebay for as long as it took to get a 7 day set of Heljestrand MK 32s with ivory scales ..........

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Ok, then mr pedant, 12 is a number i personally wouldn't associate with a set of razors, unless it is a year set and you use each razor for one month (which is odd (thats right 1 IS an odd number) because each month doesnt have the same number of days).
    I would have expected 7 or 14 razors.
