    This is the thing. If I didn't have a heck of a lot of razors I would probably use the mint sets. They are so pretty and once they are used ..... I will probably use them eventually if I keep them. Selling on ebay can become as addictive as buying.

    I bought the W&B set tonight on a bit of a whim. I really need to stop doing that, but I do plan to hone and use them. I'd appreciate any feedback on the set regarding the condition and price (albeit after the fact).

    Question for the historians out there. I was wondering,what was the reasoning behind the 7 day set?

    Was it for travelling? Or did you run through the set and drop them into the local barber for stropping and pick them up that night and run through them again? Just a bit of a status symbol? Maybe all of the above?

    So that was you?! Thanks for bidding I didn't want to win the set.

    Well they are nice razors and will no doubt make excellent shavers. IMO you did very well as I thought they would go for well above what they did go for. If you ever want to get your money out of them you'll have no problem. I like the jimps and the 6/8 blades and the 'improved tang' is cool. I like shaving with round points but they don't turn me on visually.

    Had I been the winner of that set I would give Robert Williams (Papa Bull) a shout and ask him if he had any more of those $29.00 acrylic replacement scales he made. I bought a white faux pearl and a black pearlized set and they went on a couple of 6/8 blades like they were made for them.

    I like to mix up the razors I use, so I think I'd get bored with a 7 day set. I like to change each day, its part of the fun..!

    Kind of off topic, but rather than buying and using a 7 day set I think it would be great to have a 7 razor box made and assemble your own, complete with after market day of the week engravings. I think it was Max who rescaled a complete 7 day set in wild and crazy colors and designs a while back, and I'm sure all were great. Sure that's just the scales and they don't (really) affect the shave, but at least it adds a little variety.

    I myself wouldn't mind having a Monday/Wednesday/Friday set...

    Since the first day i joined SRP i knew that i wanted a seven days set but i also knew that it would get borring with the same razors.

    thats why i bought 7 different razors. i will scale them all the same..and make them a little box.

    i think its a good idea :P:P:P

    At this point in my shaving career I like diversity. Different size, different styles. So no 7-day sets for me.

    I used to want a 7 day set but then I settled for different razor brands in case I got bored.That's how it was supposed to go but now I have two Geneva cutlery co.6/8ths and two 7/8ths Flics.Oh well, I'll just have to start all over again. I don't think a seven day set of Genco or Flic would bore me.
