ROFLMAO - I have one word in response to your request: "Shapticule"

No, no please don't thank me, your stunned silence is thanks enough.

I have a 7 day set, not nearly that nice. I plan on using them eventually. (can't afford honing on 7 razors, ouch).

then buy one hone.

Yeah, a coticule, BBW and a 1200 grit DMT is all you need, and shouldn't cost more than the honing for 7 razors would cost. But do check with the honemeisters, they might give you a discount (less hassle since all 7 razors go in one package and are quite identical)

I am sure I have no idea what you are talking about...

I don't speak for the others, but for myself you would be lucky to get the same price as a single razor x7, A seven day set requires much more attention to detail, to get the razors as perfectly matched as possible, at least it does for my OCD brain... Now, you would save good money on shipping...

BTW that is a beautiful set, But regardless, I would be shaving them myself....

Very nice catch. That's a tough question. I use everything I have, except one Goldedge Dubl Duck that's new, well like new, you'd never know it was used. It's the best vintage duck I've ever seen. Anyway, with yours, I'd display them. Very nice.....

I really appreciate all the feedback I have been given on this razor set! I find myself in agreement with those who say that a set like this should be used, not locked away. I have several vintage pieces (books and fountain pens mostly) that I both use and enjoy...so why should my razors be any different.

I'm going to have to stay away from Ebay...that darn thing keeps getting me in trouble

Darn RAD

Cheers!

Okay, didn't think of that, I can kinda see how that added work would eat up the less time spent packaging all the razor. I was going by general craftsman experience, not razor honing experience.

LOL, of all the dumb luck...I received a shipment from the seller today, but what was in the package doesn't look like straight razors:




I contacted the seller...so we'll see what happens next.

I know mistakes happen, but this knocks the confidence in the seller a bit.
