    Default Collecting a seven day set

    I have now really gotten my feet wet again and was wondering how hard it would be to collect a seven day matching set. I'm just looking for seven of the same razors. As I know there are a ton of them out there just wondering what everyone luck has been with this type of project.

    7 day sets are out there. But sets in good condition are rare and expensive. It's hard to find a set where all seven match perfectly and in good original cases or boxes. Usualkyb one or more of the seven has been shortened due to damage etc. I've seen some reallyb fine sets but they are out of my budget.
    Good luck.

    I'm sure lots of folks here at SRP have 7 day sets of the same razor that they put together themselves. I have a 7 day set of Wade & Butchers...all the same razor... that I have collected. They all happen to be mint, and it took me a long time to do it.

    I guess it all depends on how rare the razors are, of course there is the scales factor as well. One of the guys here just finished rescaling his seven day set in bone. It may seem like a little thing but seven exact matching sets of scales is not that easy. I think if you picked a really simple blade that was relatively common you could get the blades purchased one at a time over a couple of months. I have not got my set together yet i am one set of scales short but I did manage to get seven matching blades, but only have six original sets of scales. The razors are 7/8 Frederick Reynolds wedges with the original honey horn embossed in gold lettering that say Old English Razor. I have a few sets of four, all original, and one seven day set. They are out there, you may have to buy more than one set to get a complete set if you wanted the true labeled seven day set. I like pairs and fours too.

    You'd be able to put together a set of Gold Dollars quite easily!! Only joking, don't do it! As already stated by others, it depends on what you're after. Personally, I'd love a set of Bokers, but getting the exact same spec razor with the same scales isn't as easy as you'd think. Just look on EBay and see how many variations there are of say, W&Bs or Filis. As Wolfpack34 stated, he put together a set but took him a long time to do it.

    I just missed a set of Bokers with one missing, so a six day set. If it was complete I'd have sold a kidney to get them, but since it wasn't complete, I held off.

    Good luck with your mission!
