Hello,

RezDog - Thanks for the tip with the mineral oil. I have some in my shed that I used on chopping boards, so will soak the razors in it overnight.

Gasman - Do you shave with your ivory set? I have decided not to sell them, but will fix them up as a nice set for me use. You said they're nothing really special, so that kind of helped me decide. One side of the box is completely loose, the hinge is gone, and the original lock no longer works. I'm going to try and find an old box hinge and use it for the box.

There is barely any spine wear on the blades, so they're in great condition. I spoke to the seller and he said the box was found as part of a house clearance. They've been kept well, but from what I can see, hardly ever used.

Thanks for all the tips! I'm glad I checked here, as my first though was to rip of the 'cheap looking' scales and replace them with some nice ebony or redwood sets.
