Info on these razors please?
C.V.HELJESTRAND No24, ESKILSTUNA, SWEDEN
STRAIGHT RAZOR HEARTRING, EICHER&SOHNE, SOLINGEN
Input on condition would be great. Just got these for £16.16 and £12.02 (shipped) repectively, seller didn't leave any info at all.Last edited by RedGladiator; 02-06-2015 at 09:01 PM.

Both are good brands. Heartring seems to be in better condition.

Can I just send it to be honed, disinfect and use? I don't really want to mess around with polish unless I have to.

Mess around?
It just takes a couple of minutes and makes a huge difference. You will probably want to clean old dirt from in-between the scales aswell.
Too bad the tip of one of the scale is broken, but it looks like it will holdbigeasy1 likes this.

I have a C V. Helejstrand and all that I can tell you is that it shaves like a dream. Fantastic razor!
Enjoy

I can't tell but it looks like the heel of the heartring looks like minor damage as well at the point??? ANyway we'll see when it's delivered I guess.

The razors came in today. They are 4/8s. Far too small for me. Lesson learnt I guess, no discription for a reason.
Anyone in UK who is a beginner is welcome to take them, one or both for free, I'll pay for postage too. They are not shave ready and a bit dirty. If they were 5/8s I would have kept them. Though I'm thinking 5/8s is a bit small for me too. I only ask these are not sold for profit, if you decide to take them and do not like it you pass on to another beginner to try.
PM me if you want them.
