Wilkinson Sword 7 day set
#1
This arrived in my stash from stuff I've bought from ebay past few months. Set is in remarkably good condition but missing the Thursday blade holder. The instruction manual was easy to follow and understand how it works. The  blades are clean of rust and the strop is in good condition. I've applied some neatsfoot oil to condition it.
I will pass the blade gently over a 12k naniwa stone and strop it after honing and see how well it shaves. Fill post a report.

I have one just like it, including the missing day, although not Thursday. I was thinking of taking one of the hangers and fitting a cut down Gem blade, but haven't gotten to it yet. Congratulations on a nice razor!
