Start of 7

[perogee]

I have started to put together a 7 day set for myself and wanted to share

These are the first two that I have finished, being blades that I was already shaving with, the pic is kind of low quality but I will get better ones as the set comes together. It will actually be an 8 blade set as one of the blades is quite small and I will include it as a trim razor.

(I have even found a brush to match http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?p=2109057#post2109057)

Looks like those will set nicely with that brush you picked up!

And the set

Next task, the box to keep them all in.

Perhaps you have listed this elsewhere and I missed it.... What are the makes and sizes of the blades that compose your set? Looks very interesting and eclectic.

They are all Wade & Butcher, and they range from the 4/8 trim razor up to an 8/8 wedge. Pretty much cover the /8 ranges between. I still need to have 6 of them honed so I can see how they all shave

Nice set!!

That is pretty cool! What are your plans for a box? Maybe some dyed wood to match those cool looking scales?

 

[perogee]

Admittedly, I am not certain as to the direction I will go with the box. I have a cigar box that was my first intent, and I have asked for some quotes on a custom. I am also considering converting a travel humidor for the purpose.

I think I have to decide if I want something to stay at home and look pretty, or something that I can actually travel with and will protect my razors.

Nice set. Hopefully you can bring it the next time we have a get-together.

Nice set and great idea. Did you make the scales yourself or did you buy them from somewhere?
