    Thanks for the kind words. They are stock, had Ray do the spine laser engraving and that's it for any custom work. I wanted a simple font.

    The one that ended up 'Sunday' is from the first batch that came out, the rest are MkII's.

    I'm thinking I'll never be able to afford a nice existing set but if the custom engraving is reasonable I might be able to build a set and get someone to engrave them.

    What qualifies (to most of you) as a 7 day set? Any seven totally different razors that you box or roll as a set? Seven identical razors? Seven identical blades with different scales? Seven different styles, maybe all from the same maker (think 7 Ellises or 7 Seraphim )? Do they have to have the days of the week on either the blade or the scales? (or maybe the seven deadly sins, the seven wonders of the ancient world, etc.).

    I'm thinking the seven posted by Huracan aren't a 'set'. They are a collection. And a gorgeous one at that. By the way, is that Thiers Issard a Cock and Bull or a Cock and Fox? I can't quite make it out.

    Beautiful sets, guys. I am considering putting together a 7-day set of my own, using restored W&B blades with ebony scales. That's more of a long-term project, though :)

    Meanwhile, I'll just drool over these ones.

    Thanks!
    I didn't 'find' them, johnmrson had them listed on the BST.... I jumped on them!!
    This is the kind of set I was looking for; right size and it's all intact!
    It really is amazing --- 1924 is the date on the paper work.
