Razor ID help needed

[fhalden]

My old college roommate found a razor in his mother's attic and is giving it to me. It's a Wilkinson Sword, according to the case, but Ive never seen anything like it before. Can anyone help me with any information? Thanks! I don't even know if it's SE or DE, so I put this thread here.

Yep a 7 day set with wedge blades. Chris shared 1 of his with me to try a shave with. Oh Chris @CBLindsay

That is a drool-worthy SE set. Are the blades in good condition?

I asked him.

So are new blades still available for it?

Looks like you have all the wedge blades. If in decent shape you can hone and use. They may be sharp now. A neat piece to have for a shave from history from time to time like the August theme old school shaves

That is simply beautiful (almost as purdy as @Somnos ! ).
When this Covid mess cools off, take him for a VERY nice dinner (and dancing if he so wishes )

I couldn't agree more.

Wow, that's unique. If I'm following this correctly, it's 7 steel wedges, like straight blades, you insert into the handle to shave with it like a SE razor?

Also looks like the brown thing is a strop?

That looks brand new. Great find!

That razor is a somewhat like a straight razor. The blades are meant to be rehoned.

Hone up all 7. Strop them before and after the shave. Their edges should last several months of daily shaving since you will be rotating through the blades across a week. Rehone once the edges diminish too much to get a good shave from them. Rinse and repeat.

Kept in good condition that set will last you a lifetime of shaving and will be a family heirloom. Your great-grandkids will be able to shave with those blades.

There appears to be instructions that came with the original razor. Is yours intact?
