you can also get them from his etsy page also sometimes they appear on griffin. there is on for sale on there right now. the same one with black scales.

Thank you very much Mr. Enabler sir.
I think those two should’ve been sold as a set.
I do prefer the white one, and if I buy the black one, I’ll have to have a matching white.

It has been said true men of leisure own seven day sets of razors, and built places like the Taj Mahal, Neuschwanstein, Biltmore, or even a humble Ca' d'Zan.

I however, I’m not a man of leisure and must live within my own meager means, and purchase smaller sets.

Instead of Monday or Tuesday, Wednesday, or Whatever, If I had to give them a name, I would call these two Yin & Yang.

For a man of meager means, you're doing o.k.

Lately, I've been contemplating a TI "2-day set". That, a dopp kit, and a loom/paddle strop, would make a great travel set. I've heard of people wrapping up their razors and stowing them in between the belts of the loom strop.

@RumpleBearskin, welcome to the fold. There is a certain amount of satisfaction in owning a M7DS. You will find there is even more satisfaction in putting your own set together. I might try putting together a matching vintage set 🤔.

Your first challenge with the set should be to use them for a few weeks and try to get each up to near the same shave quality as the best in the set.

Totally greased up but in great shape. No corrosion on the blades and only minimal Devil's Spit in the pivots. Not even sure if they've ever seen a stone... So stoked just to even own them.
