Thread: The One That Got Away

Razors come and go in this hobby, but once in a while, there is one you regret letting go. For me, it is this CV Heljestrand 31 in original ivory scales. It would have been an easy restore for one of our restoration guys.



As frequently happens in this hobby, it got sold along with other razors when I had a chance at a nice Takeda, and those don't come along often, either. I sold it because I had another one, restored and rescaled by Josh, and foolishly thought two would be superfluous. But since, I have gotten around to keeping pairs of the handful that have become favorites. Just in case a great flood comes along.

Anyway, let's hear your story of the one you regret selling/giving away. Nostalgic pictures are welcome, too.
