I had been looking for a 7O'Clock for a while now, i did see one a year or 2 ago but i thought was overly priced so left it, not realising they are as rare as hens teeth, low and behold one popped up when i was looking for some info on google, still a bit pricey so i put in an offer which was declined, i left it, however it kept coming down in price, eventually lower than the offer i had put in, i had just bought the X1 so put in another cheeky offer which was accepted. 
It turned up yesterday
I spent some time yesterday freeing up & oiling the stiff locking knob, then a good cleaning, and polishing, i am very happy with the result, the case will need some TLC when i get a chance and i may replace the leather strop "plate" inside the lid.
Therefore, this morning i swapped out a modified blade from one of my VC1's to give this vintage lady a run out.
A wonderful creamy face lather today and away i went.
The razor is quite vocal shaving on the SB, lifting the handle just a touch and it did quieten down a little on the WTG pass, It seems very mild but was doing its job well, very Valet-esque, The XTG pass was similar and trying to keep the angle took some concentration, moving to the ATG pass and the audio feedback crescendo - wonderful!
After a rinse and check i had to do a little buffing on the throat and left cheek, i am putting this down to a learning curve.
A dollop of the quickly diminishing Barts Balm and a splash of the Bowling Green giving some indication which calmed quickly.
I am so happy i have this razor in the Den.
All In All one very happy shaver with a massive smile on my face.

Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Grassy kicked it off with a spectacular, classic image including some wonderful instruments! He always brings beautiful brushes!!!

Dave in KY brought his strong vintage game with the wonderful Williams wooden bowl and the Fuzzy Schick E2, a classy, well patina'd razor...much like Wchnu himself! 

Jayaruh continuing his month of shaving with 3D printed razors using the Stoll Jr. Lather Catcher. Gentleman Jim's custom wooden boxes really highlight his art, craftsmanship and his love for shaving!

And lastly for now, Tony'schin showing off his recently acquired Autortrop 7 O'Clock. He's really put a lot of TLC into cleaning up this razor and making it the star of the shave! His patience to get this razor really paid off.

I'm sure there will be more great posts today and throughout the weekend from the community!
