    Default Heljestrands out of control

    Since I start shaving with straights, I saw many razors getting out of control, but the Heljestrand are just insane. Just two years ago I get some nice ivory scaled MK21, MK32 for 75-100. Right now cheapest Ebay is 250, not ivory ones, and not in best shape, at this prices, I don't know why the buyers don't get a custom?

    There is always a couple razor brands in the spotlight, give it some time &what there will be another brand fetching 10x what many of us would pay. The collectors will always be around, but with more & more enjoying a gentleman's shave the prices will steadily creep up and then level off. Thank goodness for the current razor makers or it would be much worse!

    I've seen a lot of ivory Helje MK 30s and 31s go for $75 to $150 just in the past few weeks. I've also seen some go for a whole lot more. I don't know if it's certain sellers that just bring more in or what. I'm not sure if I'd say they're going crazy just yet.

    This is why, if you find a razor that you think is outstanding, and it isn't already in the spotlight, don't tell a soul ....... not your best friend, not your own mother.

    30s and 31s are not 32s,you have a quantum leap between them.
