Hi ECD
Sorry, but we don't give dollar values in this forum.
As for the razors, they seem to be very nice. I suggest you look at the history on ebay to see what similar sets went for in the past.
Krops are a overlooked brand that are very nice shavers.
Very Best, John

They don't let you sell anything that has Ivory on E bay that's why I ask what sort of value they could be sorry if I went against the rules

That probably explains the various euphemisms for ivory that I have seen in descriptions of razors. Don't tell and we won't ask sort of thing.

Seriously, those look like a rare collection and if I were you I would keep them. A 7-day set with ivory scales aren't things that come along very often. Sharpen those babies up and make them your lifetime razors!

Or if you really want to sell, try BST here, instead.

I value them at about 100 dollars american, Please send them right away!

What is BST??
