V7 personal collection of vintage razors, 7 day Empire set fully restored 

Grandpa?😆

Morning Chuck. Great travel razor, different razor blade every day so compact and lightweight. You can get them on ebay.com I have three for sale as restoration projects if you fancy a challenge and like precision D.I.Y. All are in various states, one is complete but disassembled, the others have some parts missing like the leather strop, blades. All on ebay. i can send you a link if you are interested. I have restored about four maybe five of these razors, but kept one for my rotation of vintage razors. Thanks for your comments as usual.

@@pixsellpix Thank sir, I would like a link.

@@chucklachance eBay item number:334796061642 Just needs a good clean with bicarbonate of Soda and hot water. Take the blades out of the blade holders, hone and while you are doing this look out for a Wilkinson strop or make your own leather strop to the width of the handle head. I then clean the inside of the case with a toothbrush (usually my wife's toothbrush) and apply a couple of drops of Lavender Oil.

Imperia La Roccia is the stone i finish my blades on, starting with a 1,000 grit stone, then 4,000, 6,000, 8,000, 12,000, then the Roccia, 15,000 grit +. I then do a few laps on the Roccia under running water until the blade "sticks" to the stone. One tip with these short blades is to double tape them and leave at least 2cm either side of the blade allowing you something to grip with and apply a bit of pressure. The tape will give you a steeper angle of attack. Then 100 laps on leather. I also take the blades out of the blade holder.
