Good morning ,
received this set today...
Whereabouts are known as I bought it from the 'great granddaughter ?' who discovered it whilst emptying her former 'chateau' built during the early 1800's
Box is a bit of an old dog -key is missing- Name: 7DB32634-597E-4ADE-BA0F-8BEF5EF8530C_1_201_a.jpg

That is probably the sweetest spine work I have ever seen. Outstanding!

**RezDog** · 07-24-2020, 02:03 PM

I too am enamoured with the spine work. I beautiful set for sure.

**DZEC** · 07-24-2020, 03:20 PM

What a find! Congratulations.

Even if Monday becomes a shorty, that is a gorgeous set.

**JOB15** · 07-24-2020, 10:40 PM

Amazing..Very nice

**Gasman** · 07-24-2020, 10:54 PM

Nice find. And a great maker.

**PaulFLUS** · 07-25-2020, 03:22 AM

Count me in for the spine work. Shame about Monday but still beautiful.

What the hell, make a round point out of it

**Johntoad57** · 07-25-2020, 03:37 AM

That is a really nice 7 day set of razors! Too bad about Monday. Oh well! Are you going to just look at them or are you going to try and shave with them?

**bartds** · 07-25-2020, 07:22 AM

Thanks to all , yes , like all of my razors I intend to shave with them...That's what they meant to be. Yesterday I concentrated on the box , as you can see the veneer is loosening on top. I'll fix that today with some wood glue and clamps. Cleaned the brass and gave it a polish. Came out quite nice actually.
Took out my 3M trizact pads and gave Tue,Wed and Thu a quick rub with P1000/P3000/P6000 and P8000 (can't see no diff between 6000 and 8000) I guess if I want them brand spanking new I will have to take over them to Joseph

but we'll see how acceptable it will turn out... I was wondering if the value would be affected if I'd made a round point out of it as Paul suggested ? Or just leave as is as I never shave on Mondays ? Cheers , Bart. Name: AB4278F3-CD1F-49FA-A08E-2DC9239904C6_1_201_a.jpg
