The Wilkinson 7 Day set ended up at $180...

Very nice lot no doubt, they all should clean up well, might be one of those things where people thought it would go crazy at the end so no-one went for it???

The old Wilkinsons like Phrank is talking about were a honeable blade...similar to a Rolls Razor
