Let's gather up the C.V Heljestrand "MK"
- Thread starter honed
- Start date
@Polarbeard that's just the thing, really, I've never seen the actual proof, and to my knowledge, after having visited half a dozen communities over the years you are the first I hear having seen actual documents. Every other time it has been a long series of "he said/she said", and excuse me if I don't blindly trust the Kindal descendants. Sellers are known to embellish the truth.
Then again, sorry for the crime of lese majesty I apparently committed, while it's not my habit to sniff someone's *** to know his pedigree, I do have a habit of putting things in question when I see someone, anyone really, stating as a fact something I have never seen as clear cut.
Now, indeed, regarding this issue at hand, I would feel really educated by such an erudite if I could see an actual document and could, in turn, educate others without being the umpteenth "he said" in the chain.

Trifecta MK31
I feel like I'm never gonna own a Heljestrand MK. I've kept my eye out for years and always just miss them in the instance they pop up. Next life maybe 
2 7-day sets. NOS in ivory. MK31 and MK32.
NOS MK33 in tortoise. Sunday razor from a 7 day set.
Are these from a swedish auction site?
This thread makes me want to faint...... WOW Great razors everyone!
Nope. The 7 day sets are US bought. The MK33 came from France.
I decided to bring this back into the rotation and figured I aught to post it here
It’s not an MK but just a N7. From what I’ve gathered that means pre1925.
the blade measures just over 17.5mm
and appears to be 1/2 to 3/4 hollow.
What the etching is on the hollow is I don’t know, maybe Swedish department store branding? Perhaps someone here knows more about this one.
I was going to send it out to get cleaned up as everything that’s wrong with it seems pretty superficial but I don’t think it’s worth it and am just gonna wait till my resto skills improve.

This is a recently acquired MK5 that I haven't seen much information about.
It is a 6/8 fullhollow and looks exactly like the MK6 I have.

I added MK6 and MK30 to my den.
My hands are now starting to search for 5/8 variant, regardless of of my will.
I made the scales for MK6 myself with a buffalo horn.
And I'm planning to make one for MK30.

Ask me about shaving naked!
I recently acquired a second M.K. 133 in black scales to go with the prototype in ivory. And even scrounged up a proper dresser case for them.
I was wrong///////////
Upon lusting and knowing nothing about these razors, and having the lucky opportunity to pick up a mint 31, I said what the heck you only live once and took the plunge
( being new been shaving with some amazing Japanese Vintage straights lately,)and when 31 came and I open up box and held it, my thoughts were, this is just too small, don’t seem what the fuss is about, but I will give it a spin and if don’t enjoy could always let her go to someone also lusting after one
But upon shave, I am speechless
( never letting her go)
Japanese straight razor Mercedes
Heljestrand 31= Maserati, corvette or lotus sport car
This had dethroned all my razors and my eyes have opened and probably my wallet for these razors
Special thx to forum member who push me to this words can’t describe this shaving machine
Special shout out to Matt at Griffin shaving as the edge and combination of this amazing tools has me speechless
Wow

Wait until you have one in ivory or tortoise with a fine Jnat edge on it ...
