That's gonna be a great shaver, for your buddy. I've got one like yours, but not as nice.

I have two of these Mike. It's the Prince Arthur's Royal Razor with a crown in the center with a V on the left & R on the right of the crown. He's getting the better one. My other one isn't as wide but I don't mind giving him that one. He wanted a heavy wedge & I like doing that.
It worked out just fine. Didn't harm the collar as you can see it still sitting on top of the scale. Above is a set of tortoise scales that came off an E.C. Simmons Keen Kutter which the blade was trash. Those scales have some bug bites inside & I'm going to fill 'em ca & I think I have another Keen Kutter I can use the blade from. If not then I'll use a different blade but I try to use original maker parts. I'm also going to make some scales for that MOP covered tang Clark Brothers blade I showed not long ago.

Something as big as that pair of Packwoods would likely need a repurposed 7-day box.
Just saying....
