Thread: Heljestrand No. 36, any info?

A while back I got a Heljestrand "job lot" of 5 razors, including 3 unnumbered framebacks, a 32, and a 36 Frameback.
(some can be seen in this thread)

I've had discussions with Mikael (who's a member here) and he's told me the 36 is quite rare. Can anyone shed some light on this one?
Approximate date?
It was part of a semainier from what I gather, since it has "Jeudi" written on the spine. (which will be lost in the restore)

It's currently being restored professionally.

Here are some pics taken before it was sent away:
(The scales are ivory & in v.good condition)

no info but that is beautiful!!!

Hi Max, nice razor you got.
Not being an expert I can't help you about your question. But here you can find a lot of good information and nice advice.
Been myself the owner of an Heljestrand MK nº 10, whose number once intrigued me, I can note that yours have BK. I found in this place an old thread very interesting about this subjet, at least for me.

these are nice framebacks. i never deemed my ivory ones unrestored enough to put in the srdb, but i just put my gray horned one next to the one with a funky horn scales.

Just got it back from the stropshop!





It's amazingly beautiful!

Very very happy with it!

Neil estimates it late 1800 early 1900 (1883 at the earliest)
