I agree, great looking razor Mikael.

Thank you! It´s a 6/8 and "9 1/2" is the model. I have a no "4" too and that´s a 5/8. Heljestrands numbering is very confusing and have nothing to do with the width. The M K 31:s are 5/8:s, it´s a fairly common Helje and of course the model number doesn´t give you a clue on how wide it is, lol.

Wow, I got this razor back from Neil (honing) and it´s now a beast both in size and preformance. It was like lawning the moan, the frase "the stubble melted away" also came to mind. WOW! I also head shaved today, with my NEW. Nannys soap is really great, sooo smooth and good to the skin and slick as few.
