    Default anyone see this???

    I was lurking around the bay when I saw this listed and found it a bit amusing. What I found amusing is that these are supposedly "rare German blades" but the days of the week are in English. What is up with this?? Could this be a scam type deal?
    Just asking this to find out why.

    It's just made for the English speaking tourist market. Looks like a good find, but watch the price rocketing later!

    Oh, & a lot of the auctions say rare, just because they can't find info on the maker, i suspect.

    The names of the days of the week on current production 7-day sets from Dovo and even Mastro Livi are in English, which is one of the reasons why I chose to have the names of the week on my 7-day set in Italian.

    Its my dream to own one of these sets. They aren't that rare, they pop up all the time. I just want the Muenchen blade but would look dumb without the rest of a seven day set.... *cough* RAD *cough*

    if you got that glen will you please post/send me pictures of the blades, and let me know how they shave? I'm looking at getting one of these Souvenir of Sets that crop up now and then.
