    Default C. V. Heljestrand MK No. 31

    FS: C. V. Heljestrand MK No. 31 straight razor - Excellent condition - Blade measures over 5/8" - Minimal and even hone wear - Scales have no cracks or chips - Pivot is tight - Blade is a hair off center - Original box is in very good condition.

    Flaws: The non-pivot pin is missing a washer on one side (the scales are not coming apart at all), there is a small amount of extremely minor spotting on blade, some dirt around the pivot area and between the scales, but no rust.

    ###NOT Shave-ready### $55 (SOLD)

    Price includes shipping (CONUS only), payment by Paypal. Questions are welcome.

    I've been having really hard time parting with few of mine, I think I still have a backup of at least three :)
    Yes, I know I've got issues, but I'm at least recognizing them

    I had a REAL hard time not jumping on this razor, the jimped thumbnotch kills me! But I'm trying to pare back, not acquire....


    (I know, I know, it's an unrealistic goal....)

    This one was a "keeper" until I came across a 33. It is going to a good home.

    Really? After ten passes on each side of a pasted strop (rock-hard felt, 1.0µ diamond and 0.5µ CrO2, respectively) and 25/25 on a Tony Miller Heirloom Artisan 3" Red-Latigo/Cowhide, it gave me a three-pass BBS shave!

    Awesome, but unfortunately I can't claim any responsibility for its nearly shave-ready condition. I never had that one on a hone. You received it just as I did.
