Thread: Select Your 7-Day Set

Ladies and gentlemen:

If you were to trim your razor collection into a 7-day set plus three additional razors for travel, what would be your choices?

I know this subject is trivial compared to all the major issues we face today, but it's Sunday and I have a big pot of glorious spaghetti sauce slowly awakening on the stove. So while I await its gala entrance later this afternoon, I thought I tease my mind with my sweet obsession — the straight razor.

Most of my modest collection of razors is new, except for a few vintage razors.

So once again, if you were to trim your razor collection into a 7-day set plus three additional razors for travel, what would be your choices? If you are just starting out and plan to increase your collection, please give me what you have and what you would like to have.

Here is mine from my modest collection:

Sunday: Thiers-Issard "Dos Festonne" 6/8"-7/8" dreadnought with white bone scales.

Monday: Filarmonica 13 Doble Temple 6/8" square point with original gray plastic scales.

Tuesday: Thiers-Issard Le Grelot 6/8" round point, 1/4 hollow with thumb notch and black plastic scales.

Wednesday: Thiers-Issard Le Grelot 6/8" round point, 3/4 hollow with white plastic scales.

Thursday: Thiers-Issard 5/8" round point with black bone scales.

Friday: Thiers-Issard 5/8" round point with snakewood scales.

Saturday: Wacker 1st Edition Sheffield 6/8" with dreadnought point and black bone scales.

Travel razors:

1. Thiers-Issard 5/8" round point with kingwood scales.

2. George Wostenholm 4/8" Spanish point with plastic scales.

3. Heljestrand MK 5/8" square point Swedish steel and white plastic scales.

If you would rather forget all this and watch a football game, that certainly makes more sense to me. Many thanks.

Regards,
Obie
