Thread: A 7 day Heljestrand set for someone with DEEP pockets

Only reason I'm posting this is because, aside from the fact that it is interesting, it may be pulled if someone complains about the tortoise shell. OTOH, the seller doesn't identify the scale material, so he might get by with it, even if someone did complain. Arguably an over priced set, but with the dollar worth a dime in buying power ..... according to my memory, maybe not. Note I've gone to the trouble of posting the seller's photos, some of them, for when the listing is no longer available, making the thread useless.

Day of The Week Straight Razor Set CV Heljestrand | eBay Item number:131213452145

I saw that one and thought about posting it. It's quite a set for sure. I'm sure there are some MK afficiandos out there that are very interested...

Yeah, +1 ....... one in particular who will probably try for it if anyone will ........ Maybe the RAD be all end all ? I'm not the seller BTW, nor would I know him/her if I fell over them.

Foresooth ! Yer wrong yet one more time.

That's an interesting set for sure.
I gotta put that on my watchlist.
If it were MK32 or 33 I would go quite some ways to secure me winning such an auction!

Interesting bunch of razors, though I'm not so much of a swedish fanatic that I'd consider such a tall price for fairly small razors.

And those notches for the thumb, never could stand how that feels when stropping a razor. It feels like someone cut the middle out of a set of steps that you're supposed to walk on.

But that's not what the set is about, I guess. Who is going to buy that set and actually use them on their designated days? That's something I'd do if I could find a nice 6/8 set of vintage solingen razors in the $500 range (I never see them in the wild, though, and such a set would go for more than that on peebay).

This ebay discussion just cost me five bones. There was a 7 day set of kobar razors that appear to be 6/8 or close and all in good or excellent shape.

Just got a certifyd strop in the mail and ordered the tiger razor off of takeshi aoki's page, too.

I was away from this site for a while and did so good until I came back

Looking at the pics, it appears that the razors might be of different sizes? My understanding is that there are MK 31s in different widths, but I find it surprising that the razors in the 7-day set do not appear identical.
