Thread: ungh - bought another...

Well, it happened again. I just had to buy "one more". Anyone know the difference between the "MK" and the "No." designations?

just an update. evidently, according to one more knowledgeable than myself, there is no difference between the Mk and the No designations.

I'm not sure but I've always thought that the #s on the Heljes represent the blade width. I've got a #24 and it is a 4/8 IIRC. I'm at work so I can't check. I believe the MK 31 is 5/8 and the 32 is 6/8 but this is just a suspicion and I may be wrong. I was wrong twice before.

almost, the 24 is a 9/16...which is still a tad less than i prefer...

i'm wondering if they originally used the MK and later switched to the No., but can't find any documentation about it.

I know for sure that they made MK marked razors in 1972 or '73 because I bought one new at Hoffritz For Cutlery back then.,

then i must assume that they are interchangeable or No came before MK.
