    Would be interested to know how you finished each. I don't have a seven day set but I do reserve my sharpest edges for the weekend (just in case) and softer edges for Monday /Tuesday to ease me into the week.

    It was a joking way to say i am a bit jealous, but sharing it with people who will appreciate is a good idea indeed!

    It is way to hard, i started with a selection, but why one and not the other. And some of the poorly restored blades shave superb, and a few of the 4/8 blades shave extremely well, some have expensive names but there are. Few unknown manufacturers that made nice razors,...

    and,...

    so i decided to pick 50 that i like most, and off course, i cant tell anything about the NOS razors, so they dont count
    And after cleaning up it turned out I forgot my to hone box, wich also has a few nice ones

    So it is pointless.
