Thread: NOS Heljestrand from Invisible Edge - blade hits the scales when I close it

OK, Steve wants to fix it, which is great! I'll send it to him and try to go without while it's gone...

Maybe I'll try a beard in the meantime

Hi - now I can at last get back on the forum, just a note for anyone re these razors - they are fitted with TI Supergnome scales as these are the only ones small enough to fit that are commercially available. These are quite soft black plastic and do take a curve rather more easily than we would like! The fixing is indeed microbolt. I do remember this razor and it was OK when it left, how the scales went a la boomerang is beyond me!
BTW our policy is that if anyone is unhappy for any reason with our products, we will repair/replace/refund at their request and refund postage. Just so you know!

I just want to add that these things are in the same series as the M***K 30, 31, 32, 33 and 134, which are highly regarded Swedish razors. I have a bunch and they look, feel and shave wonderfully well. Great design very well made and take a very good edge that will hold for quite some time. I haven't noticed any harshness in shaves compared to other razors, though, but that might be me.

Just got a new one back from Steve. He wanted to keep the originals, I assume he wanted to find out what had gone wrong.
Anyway, the new one is perfect in every way, and I highly recommend it! It's real tiny, and goes through beard like it's butter.

+1 on service for Steve, I have purchased from him a few times, very fast delivery and always well packed etc... good on him for resolving to your satisfaction
