Finally got a good shave out of this. This is hard steel!

Interesting scales. What are they?For the last few days have had only enough time for a single pass shave and no picture. Felt like a hobo by the end of work.
A few extra minutes this morning.
Much better!

There's no difference in quality or size between Heljestrand razors, of the same model number, with MK and those without MK.Hi Polarbeard,
Doc47 recommended that I contact you with my question (and please forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere on the forum). My question is: Is there a difference in quality and/or the age of CVH's that are merely numbered vs. those marked with the MK crown identification? I own a No.4 that I really love, but am wondering what it's lineage might be? I suspect that it is no older than the 1950's, but know little about how CVH distinguished between their many models. I've seen the size chart that's floating around, but wondered if you had any other insights about this (or similar) models?
Regards,
Keith
