    Beautiful, what did you pay for it? I figure the lot of them are probably worth $350 new.

    Thanks for the interest guys. I paid $400 for them worth double that to me though, given the brand and the age and the style of the whole box (not to mention the original sellers labels still stuck to the inside of the lid)... but how rare is it finding good sets, or even just single razors these days... well at least here in SA it's like hens teeth. So I've got to grab what I can find

    What a beautiful set!

    Complete with a warranty for the edges and all, wonder if Roemer's is still in business.

    Has this set been used?

    Hi Bjorn,

    I looked the company up, they don't exist anymore unfortunately..
    All the razors have ever so slight hone wear - could be from the factory, but otherwise doesnt look used at all - of course I've taken it to my throat twice and they are really nice blades, I'm gonna still clean up the box and lightly hand sand the blades to remove all the minor blemishes.. right after I clean up the 7-day set of Joseph Rodgers thats staring at me on the workbench....

    That is an amazing find... I couldnt have resisted it..

    The bad thing is that you are done with razor buying now... you have more than enough razors for this lifetime to shave with..

    Sorry I have to go wipe some drool off my desk...

    Beautiful set and Taylor's made a darn good razor. Made some good pocket knives too. AFAIC that was a good deal. Not a high price for what you have there.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    The "Ready For Use" stickers that the Cutlery works put on the inside of the box makes me think that they did some touch up honing on those razors prior to selling them. I bet that's why you're seeing a touch of honing wear.

    THANK YOU! for sharing that incredible set. 400 bucks? I'da paid double that, and been happy. I'm all giddy, and they're not even mine!

    Very nice 7 day set. I am sure we all dream of finding a set in such great condition, at least I do! Hope you get great shaves from them for a long time.
