Very nice TI roll and a great set of straights to put in it. Are you going to use them like a 7 day set?

Indeed I am. I figure, the rotation from left to right should make for longevity before having to think about the honing issue. I have a nice Dovo strop and a piece of balsa from Larry Andro (www.whippeddog.com/) which has red and green powders either side for a bit of extra fine honing.

Simply gorgeous!

Its only a matter of time........

Thinking about seven day sets, i reckon the advantage of a mixed set is being able to try different blades from different countries. They all tend to feel and shave differently.

Yeah and you have to hone them differently and use them differently too...a set only a true master could love!

a good effort, but the REAL seven are:
Kambei
Katsushirō
Gorobei
Shichirōji
Heihachi
Kyūzō and
Kikuchiyo


and beautiful roll by the way.. is the olive wood scales significantly heavier than the others?

Off topic, I know, but the two movies are entirely complementary. They are both at the top of the game. I am sure that Kurosawa was flattered by the Hollywood remake of his western tribute film.

The Magificent Seven was a remake.

I can't say I've noticed the weight. The Rams horn is hefty. Planning on changing the scales on my Dovo from plastic to ebony next.

Here you go Kurosawa would approve.
