The last of my recent RAD obsession should be here tomorrow, took a chance, fully expecting that I'm not going to score on this one, but for the Buy It Now price of $125.00, couldn't pass up taking a chance on this Heljestrand MK 134.
Can see the honewear, probably not the in it's best condition, but sometimes you just gotta say what the f......

Heck ya , I would bite on that price all day long. Phrank bet you that razor has a nice smile and shaves like a dream.
For that price, I can buy a ton of tape for an extra layer to hone that baby to perfection. Never bet against Swedish steel, and a good honer.(you)Your only as good as your last hone job.

The fact that it was also listed as, "shave ready", well, we'll see, but for that price, even a beat up MK 134 can't be all that bad....

If you have some of that canned air like for computers, I would use some of it, then tissue paper, but tissue paper will be fine like you initially did IMO. You made a hell of a catch there!

Thanked: 159 Anybody knows...
What the heck means "Ran Tan Ka Rus"? Something like " abracadabra" maybe? Or an acronym?
My razor do not mention Johan Engstrom, just "made in Sweden". Must I suppose it was made by Engstrom's plant? Drop forged from cable steel?

Thanked: 1 Heljestrand MK #5
Here's some pics of my first Swedish steel. It's still in the mail currently, so I borrowed the pics from the eBay auction I won them from. It's a MK 5, as the title says, and it needs a little tlc, but it should clean up just nice, and for $75 I can't complain, as from what I've read, the MK 5's are pretty rare and very good blades.

I have my eye of something special but then again I already have something special here...a MK No.31 fancy pants and Mastodon ivory wedge.
I have shaved for months on end in a binge of various Heljestrand. I truly should simply stop. Let me sleep on it.

Life is for living my friend, enjoy it while you can, unless I'm mistaken, there won't be any need to shave in the next life.... Originally Posted by AntiqueHoosier

I would rather travel with this one than start my unfortunate massive accumulation phase again! Originally Posted by Phrank

Planning a trip to St. John's Newfoundland for creative photography, whale, iceberg watching. Renting an 1898 cottage with waterviews. Planning on going alone but would consider an exceptional female intellectual as a travel companion. Carry on luggage only, no excessive makeup and hair products. Want to live like a local whilst there. I will ship a Heljestrand and strop ahead of my arrival and show this Swedish steel some new environs.Phrank likes this.Mike
