    Default Two Historic Pairs from 2016 Gator Cutlery Show Lakeland, Fla.

    Even though I have typically shaved for close to 6 months plus with the same razor, I have been attending the Gator Cutlery Show in Lakeland, Florida for several years and it always seems I find something to bring home. Two Gentlemen's Sets were selected by me today as well as a couple other razors. John Weiss London and Mappin Brothers need no special introduction around here no doubt. Thought you might enjoy viewing these two exquisite sets.

    Very nice! Mappin Bro. are awesome razors and are not found very often, especially in that fantastic condition. Congrats!

    Here are the other two, a D. Peres Solingen and a Herder "Cross Keys". These spoke to me as examples of what could be good shavers.

    Thank you! I am inclined to have some new scales made up for the Mappin pair since I like the blade design. This is the third pair of Weiss razors I have owned and they are quite nice as well but they may need to fund any restoration on the Mappin set.
