Apparantly I did not think this all the way through

If I find a really nice razor I will wait for it to arrive before I shave again, this time I found a hardly used C.V. Heljestrand No. 10. Usually this is no big deal as it normally takes a few days to arrive and I have a good stubble to clean up. This one took three and a half weeks to get here from only two states over, I thought about shaving a few times but I held out and it arrived today but my wife has now told me that she likes my full beard and I should wait to shave...


Great, , Now I have to wait some more to use this,



I did hone it up on my Coticule then trimmed my beard, super smooth !!!
(I didn't clean it thoroughly before taking the picture, I was too excited)


Aaargh! I don't know how much longer I can take the anticipation!

You didn't think through the razor-purchase or the marriage?

That's an awesome looking blade. Very modern/contemporary lines.

Excellent question.

The hair will grow back....


Just saying...

You could always shave twice a year...

That is a nice razor, put some proper shoes on her and she will be quite a looker

Grow a beard around here and you will be the butt of countless ridicules, become persona non grata, lose all respectability.....

As long as you shave your head it's ok though, right?

Well guys the razor won out! I couldn't let that beauty sit there and taunt me like that. I took one pass at my beard and i am back. I got a very nice shave from that blade, this was the first time I have ever wiped a thick full beard clean off my face without a battle. A truely unique experience.

The razor or the wife?

The razor or the wife?

I guess in this case it is safe to say, both

Doc, what do you recommend? I like the plain black look on the swedes and I was planning on just repairing these, they were damaged in shipping . What material? Are there other materials that were used on these from the factory?
The No. 10 came in this package marked MK does that mean it was an MK?

And a bonus pic of my swedes

I haven't restored any of them just honed and shaved. My ancestors are Finns and Swedes so they hold a special place for me.
