Straight Razor Acquisition Thread

@TSENG Thanks for the quick reply! Found a similar one, available as Chrome extension. I will give it a try over the weekend - have some blades to test for their angles before honing.

Heljestrand MK No.6 from eBay France & Kindal Paris strop eBay US.

MK6 has a few light scratches that worried me a bit but they don’t appear to be deep cracks or major issues.

Frankly I got a bit “out over my skis” on this one. eBay purchase. Secondly the supposed Mint condition wasn’t really true. Scales are not even close to mint. Returning to seller for full refund.

Happy day for me as I received a recent $10 purchase.

Turns out that the razor has not been honed since the factory and the scales are ivory. Pretty thick for ivory.
