Wilkinson 7 day set
I got interested in the advancement of shaving when I started this crazy hobby. I've been wanting an Autostrop, and a 7 day set. Well, I got both. It arrived today:
It is a Wilkinson 7 day. Though my set has 2 Mondays. Overall it is in Above average shape. Even the strop is still flexible. Some of the blades have some rust on them. I'll have to keep an eye out for replacement blades.

Wow, I've never seen anything like this before. So are the blades made the same way as for a straight? And how does an Autostrop worK? (had never heard of one of those, either.)

The auto strop device is on top of the razor holder. You thread the strop through the device. It automatically flips the blade from one side to the other as you strop. Really cool.
Here is a video of a Valet auto strop in use. Same principle (not me in the video)
