    Default Celebrating my 7-day set of 5/8 lovelies

    Gentlemen, for the past week or so I have enjoyed daily shaves with my 7-day set of new-old-stock 5/8 German lovelies. I have honed them to perfection — for my taste. Today's exceptional shave made me realize how fond I am of this set. So I thought I would share some photos with my friends. Thanks for viewing.

    Right column, top to bottom:

    Wonderful collection Obie, somewhat like going back in time looking at a display case of razors available at that time.

    Obie, they are all beautiful but the Lauterjung & Co. Tiger really gets my RAD juices flowing. Great rotation you have there.

    Thank you, Jimmy. Yes, I am quite fond of the Tiger, too. It's quite a handsome razor.

    Obie-
    I am glad to hear that you are enjoying this many straight shaves in a row. I know that from time to time you mention having to use the DE because of the pain in your hands. I hope the streak continues and the pain stays at bay.

    I have seen some amazing 7 day sets, but as beautiful as they are, the Sunday-Saturday type, I think I really prefer the variety in a beautiful set like you have posted above. Thanks for posting.
