I haven't, but there were many new or renamed razor models during Heljestrand's last desperate decade (1970-1979)Have you ever heard about mk n 170 ?

Indeed I did. It's Friday afternoon here and it's been a long and hectic work week. The 24 5/8 was a very late production razor.i assume you mean the 24 and you are absolutely right. The “oem” edges and my honed ones have been ridiculous. It was part of 7 razor roll, but not with day markings
In the later part of the 1970's it was given another name that I've forgotten. It could have been "Viking".
So now I'm a celebrity! I'll put on some perfume comb my hair and wait by the door for the female fans to come by. Then again ladies in dire need to shave...This has been great information on the MKs. I just picked up an MK no.6 for $50 (CDA$s). Lovely shape, it just needed a bit of rubbing with Mother's Mag Cleaner and has hardly any bevel nor wear.
The funny thing is that when I got home, I googled "Heljestrand straight razor" and up popped PolarBeard's profile picture.
