Thread: jacques lecoultre frameback 7 day set

I've just picked up a jacques lecoultre frameback with 7 blades and I was wondering if anyone has come across one of these before? The most I have seen before is one with 6 blades.

I believe the small booklet that holds the blades can hold up to 12.

7 blades is definitely a find though, even if the frame is pretty badly worn down! Just tape it up and hone'em, they're amazing shavers.

+1...I have an absolutely 'mint' set also with 7 blades. And Zak is right: the are truly Great Shavers!

Nice find. Enjoy.

this is what the screw driver looks like. Looks like a steel tip with a brass funnel attached to a wood handle with a tenon that inserts into the brass funnel. Mine was separated and I glued it back together

Yes definately a wonderful find! fantastic shavers!
Some history on Lecoultre: http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...itzerland.html

I have this same Razor only it has two blades No.1 & No. 2, same box and a separate green sleeve (that fits in the coffin) or book looking thing lined with paper to hold the spare blade, it also has the screw driver.
Very nice find, I guess your going to sell all your other razors now, no need to have them taking up space, hehe

I might have to put a wtb in for the screwdriver if I find I can't stand not having the full set.

Whats the screwdriver look like, might be easy enough to fabricate one

The later models didn't have a screwdriver, but you'll know if that's the one you've got by the style of the set-screw. On the ones without the tool, the set-screw is knurled like a watch crown.



In fact, on those, there's nowhere to slot in a screwdriver!
