Dan those are all Junk and have an allergy to Mund's Park. Send them to me for proper disposal
I dearly miss them too. Heljestrands are fantastic blades in any size.
I'd recommend the No.16. it's a rare but very good razor, one of my favourite Heljestrands, but then again there are at least three Heljestrand razors that I haven't tried.
Nah I'll stick to Chinese razorsYes Arne, you should really look into the Spain made MK31 you might like the Heljestand razors
Thank you,
Of course there's a Chinese bikini team, the only difference being that the girls aren't blonde.
A No.16 in ivory and with a thumb notch is the perhaps most valued razor I've got. OK I've got a couple of others as well.
Heljestrand, like other manufacturers, sold razors through the vendor/distributor A. Amos that had his firm in Tallin the capital of Estonia. That dates your razor to before the spring of 1940 when the Soviet Union occupied Estonia.
i do have a frame back.thin wedge with brass tub on the spine.one of my very best shavers.
They are good shavers, but i find them to be rather "wiggly" since the tang isn't much to hold on to.
I read through this thread and didn't see any mention of the Mk 6's? Are those one's that should be avoided?
Just pulled the trigger on a nice Mk 31...will post pictures when it arrives.
Not at all. No.5, 6, 9,10 are the predecessors of No.30 to 33. Slightly different grinding and jimps but that's all. Good razors and unfortunately expensive.
Very humbled today. I was gifted this by a very generous member and friend, for in his words, just doing what I do, He gave this to me as a "project razor" she needs some work and hopefully can become shave ready, but a MK*33 with black shoes to go with the Queen Mk*32 in white shoes. Speechless...
I won't mention his name to avoid embarrassment but it is just reminds me of Flagstaff

Dave that is an amazing gift and you are very worthy of it! Although I am very jealous. I look forward to several "after" pictures.

He wasn't by any chance tied to a chair with having a gun pointed at him when he gave it to you? [emoji39] On a more serious note; that's a very generous gift. My eyes have a deep emerald colour at the moment.

Dave, as John wrote above you deserve such a gift. I haven't shaved with one, most were sold abroad. I've always wondered though how it compares to the 32. I guess that you'll tell us and if you do I'll savoir ever word (as I always do).
