    Default 7 Day "Tennis" Solingen set

    Hi All,

    My guess is these were for the tourist market, I'm looking at getting them, these are the only photos I have at present.

    Does anyone know of "Tennis" set. I have seen the odd one on Ebay.

    They could look cool with matching scales or matching shaped scales but each one with different wood.

    Cheers

    Gary

    "Tennis" was made by Dovo in the early 1900's. The exact date that they produced under that name can be found on the Dovo website.

    Sounds like a nice set you are gearing up to make!!!

    I have sold A Tennis Razor recently. I found out that they were taken over in 1952 by Dovo! They must have been worth it!

    I have heard that they are truly great shavers, don't remember who exactly said it but certainly it was someone I respect.

    Having said this, I haven't liked the looks of a single one of the few I have seen.

    Cheers
