Antique store score.

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.

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.Ingenious.

Have you seen this link, where AsylumGuido
mentions this razor, and how the blades are very delicate

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

Yes I did read that post.That might be why most sets have a blade or two missing.The earlier Wilkinson sets did not have the holders for each blade,with the day of the week enscribed on them.

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