This set of seven razors (one for each day of the week) are housed in a coromandel box.

The razors have ivory handles and are also stamped Lund, 57 Cornhill to the blade as well as Empire in gilt on the face of the blade. Each razor has a day of the week to its top edge, which can be viewed when its cased. The high quality of this set is as you would expect from a maker such as Thomas Lund.
