If you'd read about razors here, or even looked around the site, you'd see that razors made in Sheffield (as this one is) are generally very good shavers.
Or simply googled the brand http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...n-heiffor.html

Thanked: 65Heiffor razor
In Doyle's first edition of 1980 when common razors were listed at $1.00 value the Heiffor was listed at $10.00. Krulmholz said they were SCARCE. I do not know how they shave but I do not have one in my collection of near 500. I would buy it if the price was right.

Blade has some pitting. It looks like it was restored. No pitting near the edge. Edge seems OK.
If you don.t mind the pitting it's worth to buy.
There's only pics of one side of the blade. Just make sure you know how the other side looks before you bid.Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr.

I understand your request and also that the Queen's English is not necessary to do so. I understand that you are in Croatia and you do not use English primarily. Your question would obviously mean "Is this razor worth buying?" and not a question of value. I have this razor. It is SUPER heavy! I managed to get a fine edge on it and it really blows hair off! Great steel.(and HEAVY!) I like mine!

"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

Thanked: 3795This forum does not do appraisals, so your question of "worth" would not appropriate, but since you made no mention of a price associated with it, Scipio was correct in declaring it to be a subjective question.
Is it a good razor? Yes, it is clean, has uniform spine wear and a nice smile, and has perfectly good scales. There is some pitting that affects its aesthetics but not its function.
