    Default Le Grelot and Heljestrand - Shave Ready

    Offering up two straights as a package deal.

    1st.
    Le Grelot - Shave Ready
    The blade measures 17.4mm which makes it 11/16 in size.
    The scales look to be original
    There is no rust but there is a bit of shallow pitting on the blade.
    I also had to re-profile (round off) the heel of the blade due to some poor previous honing.
    The grind looks to be about a half hollow to my eye.


    2nd.
    CV Heljestrand - Shave Ready
    The blade measures 18.2mm which makes it between11/16 and 6/8 in size.
    This is a Mark No 42.
    The scales look to be original
    There is no rust but there is a bit of shallow pitting on the blade.
    The grind looks to be very stiff. A quarter hollow?

    Both honed on a progression of Shapton Ceramic Pro stones (1K, 2K, 5K, 8K and 12K)

    The price of both is $85 which includes standard international postage to anywhere. If you want tracking it's an extra $8. Unfortunately Australia Post seem to think that tracking is a premium option.

    Gabs that's a very unique grind, I've not seen it on other CVH razors. Very nice acquisition to be sure! I can't wait to hear how it shaves.
