    Jiminy Cricket!!! That is awesome! I can't wait to see the set.
    Was there a method to deciding which manufacturer to go with?
    Never seen a 14 day set..

    I decieded to go with the Imperials because i like them so much love a full hollow blade and i get great shaves from them. Then i started getting a few of them with different etchings. Next thing I know i got more than 7 so figured id try for 14. Dont know if im going to have to make a box to get them to fit but time will tell. Oh, and the idea of 14 different etchings with 14 different woodscales just sounded kinda cool to me.
    It's just Sharpening, right?

    You should be worried already. Who would ever need a 2 week travel set. That would last a year without needing honed. Ive done crazier things though.

    What's your thoughts on the other two woods.

    Looks good Mike. That is something i havent gotten around to try8ng yet. I have a few blades that had blued tangs. As far as what woods to use next, i will just dig thru my box and find what i havent used on an Imperial yet. I got to have a few different ones still.

    Cool, Mike! So some red in the tang stamps?



    Got my Burrell Top Flight into the scales. This will be a nice swap mechanically as the CMon blade is a touch longer than this one. It barely cleared the wedge without touching it and sometimes it did. Plenty room this way.

    Took a while..I had pinned the CMon blade a long while back into these scales using Babur's collars. Since I want the collars same on both razors I had to pop-out the collars from the scales and take them out to a running bench grinder to take some off the OD so that they would fit under Austin's collars..Got it done!

    The CMon will have to wait. Bad sinus headache send me home to shave with this puppy and lay around the house.
