Right there is your answer. Get rid of one that has a less fantastic edge.

Is there such a thing as a "bakers 7-day set"?

You know ... 7 + 1.

Going out on a limb here, but have you considered the possibility of donating it to the Monthly-Giveaway as a way to thanking those who have helped you and the prospect of helping a new member get started. Just a thought.

I know what you mean. I've only got 7 but there's another awaiting fixing up, and one living with my brother and one with my older son.

I see so many more nice ones (and someone's got to look after them) that I can't resist taking the little orphans in. And you can't SELL an orphan you've taken in; so they go to stay with relatives in the city for a while.

Later, when the other razors are older, they will go away to the city, but for now they call me 'papa'...

The solution is really simple

Nice chess set.

You just need to say NO MORE of the madness
A year ago I had maybe 130 razors,no less than 10 seven day sets putting me at about 200,25 strops,all sorts of hones,brushes,just a bunch of stuff I never used.
I had an entire room with display cases of razors and boxes (I have a thing for orig boxes ebayed almost everything except my best users,you just have to quit buying razors,but I still like to look for them

It's already paid for, throw it in a box in the attic and save it for the next generation.

If I could stop buying them I would, but I like the idea of taking something that has been sitting in a box in an attic, garage, basement or wherever for countless years and bringing them back to usable condition and using them for what they were made for. That is why I don't think I could stick it in a box and store it away. Most of my razors probably spent more time in a box than being used before I got them. I think eventually I will weed out some of my other ones, but for now I guess I will end up with another 7 day set. I was looking at the razor waiting to be restored and I found 4 more to go with this one so won't take long.

A: I'll never PART with you!!

Part with a razor? Ya gotta be kidding!
