I bought this set



because of its price, I figured if they where crap I wouldn't feel burned but they do what I assume they are supposed to well and there being three there's always one handy. My eyesight has been a problem lately and I broke down and got this



way better than reading glasses, they flip up for normal viewing. I'm wondering if it would be too weird sporting them about in public. Maybe if I had an X-man uniform?

Just received this.

I had a previous expérience with a modern made wedge, I have great hopes for this pair.

These are promotionnal razors made for a french steel factory, one can hope they've been made from the factory's own steel.

The scales would hint for german make, if I'm not mistaken.

I've devised a honing challenge with a friend of mine. Since they are identical and seemingly NOS, we will be able to match our skills, one blade each

8k Kitayama
3k Super stone 20mm baseless
1k Chosera
a decent piece of cow hide for knife sheaths
Shapton fine grit hone for knives
Busse Hell Razor
Busse NMSFNO

Great purchase ! I had one eye on them too.

I myself just received 11 pounds of old steel and carved ivory.

You know it went too far when........

WOW !!!!!!!!! Is all I can say.

Just got a loupe (actually 3), and now have an SRD modular strop and as of last night 2 DR Harris shaving cream tubes on the way to try...one Marlborough and one Windsor. I'm running out of my Arlington and wanted to try the other two scents.

OMFG you actually bought it.

Someday I'd love to see it for real. And I know you are crazy enough to actually try it aren't you :-D

I hope there is a pic heavy post in that razors future. Now, have you found a set of oversized hones yet?

I have a Naniwa 12k and a puck of Le Pere Lucien soap from SRD.

Let's see I have some Clubman Bay Rum and some new Deo, Ren Wax, Black Palm wood blanks , and an Artisan shave soap and Balm plus bath soap (hope it's good stuff fingers crossed)
