    Default Custom Restores - CV Heljestrand No. 9 1/2 - Spear #10 - Thiers Issard 1937

    This one is heading out to my good friend Erick/Ookla...
    Erick said to have fun and do what I wanted on this Swede...

    I started by polishing the blade out on the buffers, yes I swear it is the same razor that Erick sent me...

    For scales I chose a Dyna Blue acrylic and got a little wild on the wedge end design. when I thought about what color to use for the wedge itself, it finally it dawned on me, "Yellow" after all it is a Swedish razor
    I used bi-metal pins and washers to hold it all together...

    So from Eskilstuna Sweden, here is a No.9 1/2 CV Heljestrand Half hollow squared point razor...

    Glen,

    You need Max to teach you the ways of the camera and lightbox

    I'm sure those pics dont do it justice.

    Cheers

    For the record, that blade was covered in black stains when I sent it to Glen. It came out much better than I ever expected.

    Nice touch mimicking the blue/yellow colors from the Swedish flag!
