    Default Joseph Rodgers cased set

    This set is very interesting in that the razors have no markings but look virtually unused. The set is Joseph Rodgers, but only the scissors and a small spring knife are marked with his name, and VR, so that gives at least a narrowed date range. The case is solid and quite impressive - if the razors are switched, they don't quite fit into the opposite slots; the compartments were routered for each exact item. Surprisingly the whole set is missing just one item; I'm not sure if it was a needle or tweezers or something else.

    That's a gorgeous set! I can't even imagine how many months of a common mans pay it would have cost when made.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Wow. Where the heck did you find that?? Probably one of the most impressive items I've seen.
    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one
