You can usually buy a complete 7 day set, for much less than if you purchased individually. 7 day sets are usually quality brands with embellishments, gold wash, ground spine work, or upgraded scales.

Right now, there are 3 boxed sets on EBay, starting at $170 – 600. I have seen many nice set sell in the 2-300 dollar price range.

Now, if you want a particular brand or style… that is a horse of a different color…

If you pick a common razor then it shouldn't be to hard to do. Something like Torrey, Genco or perhaps Hibbard Spencer Bartlett.

i have seen exactly one set my entire life in the wild and i think i sold my testical to get it

I have been acquiring some Cattaraugus Green Lizards. I have never made up a seven day set but this will be a set that won't be too bad. I won't have to make the scales for them. I'm hoping the blades will all be the same. The ones I have so far are alike. I will find out soon when I get two I just won on the bay. I have a wooden cigar box that I also bought some red felt for. I will cut the felt & glue it in there & get some dividers to put in it. It will be a lot better looking than the set I saw on ebay a couple months ago that the seller was asking $1599 or best offer. They had a very nice vintage box for them but they took some wood & cut a lizard out & painted it green & ruined the vintage box by gluing it to the box. The razors were mismatched also.
I helped Jonathan (ultrasoundguy) find all seven of his Boker Damascus razor's to make himself a seven day set & they turned out very nice!
The only set I have is a Jaques Lecoultre seven day razor set but it has the interchangeable blades numbered 1-7 & is a very nice set & are hard to come by. I got it for a steal I think! It comes in the original box with the blades in the original paper "sleeves" in a paper envelope & the screwdriver for changing out the blades. I also have a four day set & a two day set. They are nice. I also have a Wilkinson Sword seven day set that comes with a razor, 7 blades & a trop all in a metal box & in a white cloth bag. Those are also nice. I had pics of my Lecoultre set somewhere on here but I can't find it now or I would add the link here. A nice seven day set is great to have, especially if you have them all identical & the blades are all good & not all worn out!
I just remembered who it was that is making the bone scales for a seven day set. It is dooey!

I think dooey started out here when he was working on the set of seven day scales he's still working on.........................I think!

Incredible sets by Sharptonn, true dedication. I have been trying to get a set of Kropps up together in all sizes and that has been hard enough, can't source the 8/8 yet. So getting a complete matching 7 day set must be a endeavour. As some fellas have shown it can be done, I take my hat off.

I've found six MK32's in Ivory, still looking for # seven, need four more MK33's for that set.

Jonathon had that 7 day set of Damascus at your place. He got them one at a time.
They were amazing
