    Default Amboss Mann Solingen 7 Day Set

    It's been eons since I've last posted here. I dropped out of straight razors for a while, and recently picked them back up. But, I came across this set in a local antique store about a month ago. I thought I'd share pics with you all here. I hope to be sending it out shortly to get honed and cleaned up....

    Wow! what a find! Without the country stamped on the tang, I think those date from pre-1890's. I could be wrong about that, though, so don't take my word for it.

    Yeah that is very nice. Honed and cleaned up you'll have a bunch of great shavers.

    Not commonly seen, but really nice shavers in my experience of one. A nice Solingen set in excellent condition, congratulations! Look forward to a post-honing shave report.

    Thanks everyone! Yeah, I was pretty stoked to find them. Interesting thoughts on the date, 96firephoenix. I didn't know that about the country of origin, and I had just assumed they dated from the '20s-'30s.

    I'll be sure to report back on how they shave.

    Congrats on a great find! Even better that you found them in a local shop. Aren't local finds just GREAT?!
