    I now await this one. It's 70MM wide and was advertised and looks in good condition. C. V Heljestland M & K Royal Kindal . If it shaves as well as the other C V I recently acquired it'll be a keeper. But now it's the same old thing. Waiting.

    I'm a big fan of large, stiff, full hollow blades. I hope the tang is wide enough not to give you trouble; I have issues with narrow tangs. Other than that, she's a beauty.

    Looks like it's in great shape.
    My guess is that it's a keeper.
    Congratulations and enjoy!

    From the looks it should do good but if my hands and the size of the tang don't agree i shouldn't have any trouble letting it go. I've bought and sold several just to try. I have some that will stay with me from now own but there have those that just didn't work out.

    I made the purchase last Friday and it shipped yesterday.. Waiting is not one of my strong suits. I also notice they still have the same photo up on there add so I'm beginning to wonder if the razor I ordered is the razor that is pictured. I do hope it's in as good a condition as it looks. If it's a different one than shown and in poor condition I guess I'll find out what return pall ice they have.

    I rieceved the razor today and it looks as if it has never been used. I find no hone marks on it at all. can't wait to hone and try it out.

    It honed up good and it gives a close comfortable shave but it's not quite what i like so i may let it go. It is pretty though.

    I have two kinds of razors, residents and transients. In order to make it to be a resident is it needs to hit on some particular criteria. It needs to be pretty, and old, unique, rare and I have to like shaving with it. I have let some very nice razors go simply because they were really not my thing when it comes to shaving. So I know you keep far fewer razors at home than I do, and I expect that you are even more particular than I. It sometimes make me cringe letting really rare and pretty razors go, but I cannot keep them all.

    This one honed up good and it looks good. The problem lies in my hands and the way they grasp the razor. So I listed it this morning.
