Thread: Solingen/Bohlerstahl Day/Week Straight Razor Set (7)

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 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....

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.

I'm not sure what those are, but I couldn't help but laugh a bit. Not at you, but at the thought of it happening to ME! I know my excited little dance when I get a package....

"Oooooh....goody! My package is here! Hmmm, seems a little light......well, let's see....what the hell????"

I hope this all gets ironed out quickly and completely.

Okay, let's hope he didn't send away the razors to somebody else! ^^

I have no affiliation with the seller but one thing to remember is that some of them sell a large volume of items. I am almost certain that a correction will be made at no expense to you, at least, that is what I would do.

Al raz.

Holy mix up? What ARE those things? Teeth from a stag with a coffee addiction? I sure hope this gets straightened out for you, Charles. Please keep us posted.

Oh I fully accept and acknowledge that high (and low) volume sellers will occasionally encounter shipping mix-ups. I guess we'll see what level of seller this gentleman is when he responds to my email.

That is actually my biggest concern. If his inventory control is out of whack, then he may not have the foggiest idea where they went.
