Collectors/Users Your "Mythical" 7 Day Set?

[Antique Hoosier]

I'm seriously considering culling my "collection" down to a 7 day assembled set. It won't be easy but here are the current possibilties... Please share your "Top 7" if pressed to narrow to such.

In no specific order:

15/16 Wade & Butcher "The Celebrated" Full Hollow
7/8 Wade & Butcher "For Barber Use"
6/8 Dubl Duck Goldedge
6/8 Puma #91 "High Class"
6/8 "Silver Fisher" Full Hollow Solingen
5/8 John Barber Tortoise Scale "Saint Michael"
6/8 John Barber "Old English"

I've not included my Great Great Grandfather's Wade & Butcher which stays as well and is of course an untouchable never sell item.

I know this is a tough decision and many of you would never consider tapering your selections to an assembled "7 Day Set", but humor me and make your choices. If you have less than 7 razors, make selections that would be your future 7 day set with razors you would add to your collection to complete such a set.

Yes please, I'd like one of those sets!

Oh sorry, I mistook this for a group buy

This is a little bit like deciding which one of the kids I loive the most...
But anyway, here's my 7-day set from my current rotation:

C.V Heljestrand MK#32 6/8 full hollow
C.V Heljestrand 6/8 Frameback
Eskilstuna Jernbolag 6/8 Frameback
F.W Söderen 6/8 shoulderless grind
Klas Törnblom 13/16 ½ hollow
ERN Crown&Sword 7/8 full hollow
W&B "For Barbers Use" 9/8 wedge

Subject to change without notice

 

[Telecaster52]

4/8 solingen full-hollow Check (Zenith Barber's prince)
6/8 solingen Full hollow Check (KAMA)
5/8 USA 3/4 hollow Check (The Palmer 31)
13/16 sheffield wedge Check (W&B)

Wapi (polski pride!)
Sheffield Hollow Grind
Swedish Frameback (or any frameback, really)

So, as i stand, i'm over halfway there (and about $60 poorer for it )

If anybody's got a lead on any of these 3 i'm missing (for around $20 maybe? , original scales preferred) Drop me a line.

13/16 Gilbert Raffin Worked back spine Frenchy
6/8 TI Le Grelot in Rams Horn
13/16 Hospital Le Grelot "Le Trou Badour" to be restored still

CV Heljestrand MK 32 in Ivory (Inbound)
6/8 Filly #13 Double Temple

Wow, tough to pair it down, but at the moment this would be it.

That's because I don't have one........................yet.

I also don't have an Alex Jacques so both are on my list to acquire at some stage.

 

[mdunn]

I was going to post... then I saw johns addition and now I have nothing to say.

 

[professorchaos]

A Brian Brown 8/8 spanish point custom (got it)
A Mycarver Dold Dollar (some day)
A Seraphim shenaniganized Gold Dollar (some day)
A Paco 664 Chopper (Had one, had to send it back to him though cause it was his)
A Bill Ellis custom (I can dream, right?)
A Hillbilly custom (got two)

 

[Antique Hoosier]

Ha! How sad! I started this thread and no longer own any of them.....

 

[johnmrson]

I've still got all of my original 7 day set. As I've added a few more razors since then I'd make some changes. I'll have a think about it and post a revised list later.
