Thread: Are you a 7-day set man?

So, there has been a number of postings about seven day sets. Now I've had the opportunity to keep a set, but I decided to pass it along. I can't confine myself to seven razors of the same exact brand and model. Thats like...nm.

So if given the opportunity, would you take the seven day set over 7 different razors?

I own 1 seven day set and I like having it.OTOH, if I could only own 7 razors I wouldn't want them all to be the same. Variety is the spice of life.

thats a tough one....
assuming that both are of equal materials and value and cutting ability, id want 7 different razors. just because it makes it more hobby-like, a collection.
how cool would a comic book collection be if it was just 50 copies of the same issue.
those seven day kits are quite nice. but unless it was a set of king cutters or something real fancy , i wouldnt want to shave with em everyday

I voted seven different ones because I like shaving with a different blade every day. But, if I could afford it, I would definately pick up a really nice seven day set and throw one into my rotation every now and then. The rest of the time, I'd keep them on display.

Pretty much my exact sentiment.

It'd be nice from a collector's view point, but as a practical matter, I'd rather shave with different razors.

I currently only own one razor so am only speculating. Funny really since I originally went the other way...

I can't see owning seven of the same thing. If that was what I wanted I would just use that one blade seven times and keep a strop handy. Of course with the regularity that I shave seven blades would keep me going for a month probably. Instead I could see myself collecting seven different blades in my travels and calling them a seven day set.

i'd like to get an old 7 day set one day, but i'd definately use others as well.

but if it was one or the other id take different razors.

7 different razors for me although there are 2 boker edelweiss in my rotation they are quite differant as to what it takes to get a good shave out of them , every morning a adventure i dont ever whan this to become the same oh same oh:

I voted seven different razors but that number is too low also. I am the proud owner of a Boker seven day set and shaved though the set as part of my rotation. Mu rotation consists of many, many razors and it will be a while before the set comes up for a shave again and I think I will mix it up with other straights when it does.

I've been shaving with a different straight every day since I started about a year ago. I like the variety. I do shave with the same brands straight through or the same manufacturing location but the style, blade height or grinds do vary. I do this because of I store them in seven day rolls and grouped them that way and I can keep track of the rolls for rotation. A different brand or manufacturing location every day would be find but it would be too much work to keep track of what was used from different rolls or to find a specific razor if the rolls were mixed.

Still needed one more option "No". I don't have 7 razors, and I don't shave on Sundays. A 7-day set is meaningless, so I didn't vote...
