Normally I wouldn't post an active auction, but I don't think this one will interfere with any interested party.
I guess I've seen some very high end razors that top this, but this Heljestrand just catches my eye. Glad I'm over the "I've gotta have it" syndrome.

Thanks for pointing this out...also "don't have to have it" but what an interesting razor, and I would have missed seeing it if not for your post...
I saw that in my perusing. Saw the price, admired the razor's beauty and moved right along.Quote:

I'd go to the nearest antique store & buy her an old Cedar chest & ask her if it's O.K. if you store a few razors in it,,,:shrug:
HA,HA ! I was being politically correct...she did not use the word "Chest" ! Regardless I think would use the latter more often than the former.Quote:

Hey Jimmy. Thanks for the pic. I tried to snag that last night, but it just wouldn't let me copy it to my iPad!! :shrug:
Oh no..I can appreciate its beauty but I would not buy any razor for 2.5 K . It would surprise me greatly if it sells. But I have been wrong before.Quote:

IIRC there was a set of two on ebay years ago. One had damaged scales, the other did not. I believe the final value amounted to less than $500 for the pair, but it was a long time ago and I'm not sure. Had it been some extravagant amount I probably would remember that.Quote:

I guess somehow on eBay you can set the images to not do that. The below images are from thumbnails and I could have done that on the other, but didn't think of it at the time :(Quote:

Not that I'd be chasing that, at that price.
I recall someone here on the forum got one of those for very little money because it went up on ebay with pictures where you couldn't even see the decoration on the scales.
May be these are aftermarket customizations from the same outfit.
They remind me of the intricate metal scales with cutout patterns a member, John Cole, used to do few years ago

Looks like they were originally sold pretty much purely for the scales. Relatively expensive for the time, too. But not crazy expensive either.
You mean the 'handles' :pQuote:
