Just received this marvelous ivory pined 7-day set from Marshes & Shepherd.

All the blades are really neat. Some work to do on the box, but it is my nicest 7-day set catch so far !

Really classy set. Everything is well-designed and finished. It seemed to be a top-class fabricant. :chapeau

Superb razors !

The scales are so very special ! So is the strop ! First time for me !

Not necessary, yet I couldn't resolve myself not to buy it. :shrug:

Made by a friend of mine, a turned badger in ivory and ebony.

Can't resist to share it with you in its new "home" :)

Yes it is ! :)

Scienceguy also owns at least one of those.

Mine is marked "breveté SGDG", (patented without guaranty from the government), what could indicate that it was made in France ? Quite...

Stunning set. :chapeau

Nope, there is plenty of other tools under the blotting paper, but I actually never use wax on my letters (perhaps one day I'll do :) )

Got and filled my writing and shaving travel chest :

As I previously said, wonderful seven day set...!

I'm really keen on this type of razors, great brand... A wonderful pick-up.

I myself recently bought a travel writing set of marine, in wood.

It's sort of the "true" french point from early XIXth.

Pradier's also often have those notch.

Yes, the set can be seen page 16, with more pictures and the original razor (sadly it was too heavy to shave with..)

Scienceguy, this shagreen set is fabulous. One of my dreams yet to fulfill.

Antoine46 got the same 7d set in black horn, and was willing to sell it, if you're interested, I'm sure he'd be glad to talk about it with you ;)

Two boxed and re-scaled french tail-less razors :

Ahah, no this one is actually a real one, and not a work of mine ^^

I wouldn't be surprised if the woodbox was actually a Pradier's. He was in the street Bourg l'Abbé and was also known for his...

Checking my sellings on ebay. Leaving without having anything sold, and with a new buy on the arms.. :gaah:

That what I told Antoine too, but the work has been well done, so the overall look is (more than) ok.

I never saw a back that preserved, the gold that mark the days is really neat.

No problem with me, I think that anyone willing to take part to a forum should accept the rules of it.

I understand this way of thinking, but I also understand ScienceGuy, as collecting can be seeing as an activity involving a lot of time and personal research, and it may be frustrating to see the...

Man, I was trying to save some money......

I just gave it up !

Not fair ! :nono:
