Finally got the Pearl set

[johnmrson]

I haven't completely joined the Dark Side (straights). I still keep a very close eye on the DE market and I'm always looking to plug gaps in my collection. Well I managed to plug another big gap. I managed to get a Pearl Decolette set. I now have all three, the Pearl, the Jade and the Coral.

Very nice...congrats on the completing the set!

nice , the head looks little brassy?

That it does. I've got a couple of spare uncased Tuckaway razors floating around so that won't be hard to fix.

Congrats, John! I think most of the ones that I've seen have a less than perfect head. I'd be happy to just find one at a decent price.

That is a thing of beauty! Your collection is absolutely stunning, or at least all of the bits you have been kind enough to share with are. I love mother of pearl and so does my GF. Is there any chance we could see a picture of all three of the exotic sets you mentioned?

I'd be happy to post some pics of the 3 sets when this one turns up.

eBay. There was no bids on it so I made the seller an offer he couldn't refuse.

Nice pick up.

I must be hopeless at searching eBay because I never to get to see some of the great razors picked up by B&B members let alone bid on them!

Congrats John. It's not easy to complete these sets. So far I only have the De Luxe Jade set. It's also almost impossible to find sets without cap wear in the center. The problem seems to be caused by the hard walls of the case compartments.
