Been looking for one of these Wilkinson sets for a while,but the prices have been way too high,especially for the older 7 day sets.I nearly had a stroke when I saw a $AU 10 price tag on this one.:biggrin:

Nice score! I would love to pick up one of these sets too. I guess that patience is still a virtue when looking for vintage razors.

One thing I didn't realise is that some of these models are adjustable,including this one.You just turn the small knob on the back of the head and it changes the blade angle.:biggrin:Ingenious.

Have you seen this link (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=93510), where AsylumGuido
mentions this razor, and how the blades are very delicate

Nice find. That razor has a real steampunk vibe going on.

Glad to see the hours of glass aisle hunting paid off. Great score!
