Snipe?! If I see a set like that, I'd be up for it no matter what and ready to put in my bid.
Just reading about it makes me feel regret...

It does pain me.
I'd say so, considering the MK 31 in Ivory on eBay yesterday hit $265 before the auction was pulled. Can't remember if it said Ivory in the description or not, but couldn't believe it was bid that high as is.

You are most welcome here!That is it! I am coming to Sweden!!
But you might want to see this before going...
The winds will be picking up strength during the night.
Strong gale & heavy snowfall tomorrow
Yes, that is -5F (with heavy wind!) & you read right, the sun comes up at
08:49 & set at 14:54. 6 hours of "daylight"
Anyhow;
C.V Heljestrand MK#29
The smallest of the MK series.
Looks just like the MK#30-33.
A wee tad over 3/8 & it takes just as good an edge as the rest of the MK#3x.
Very strange to shave with. Just too small, but still holds an edge that easily mows down 3 days of stubble. I know, because I've tried.

I have adapted to New England winters ... I think I'll have to wait until summer.
Is the MK #33 the one to have? I just picked up an MK #7 at a good price.
Well, it's the biggest (7/8) of the MK-series & also a very rare bird.
So sure, it's definitely a top of the line razor.
But IMO any Heljestrand is a very good razor.
The no7 rocks

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. The #7 looked like it just needed some very mild cleanup. It's at Ernie's house for a makeover right now.

BTW - those are some very handsome scales!
Ivory!
Beautiful razor!
And it's really nice with the inlay paper.

That is an interesting point on that one.
