    Default C.V. Heljestrand MK 31 by Maximilian

    My latest acquisition from Max has just arrived today (Here is the first). This is by far the best razor in my collection and I can't stop looking at it. I'm starting to feel like Gollum, my precious!

    As always, the pictures aren't mine as I couldn't do this razor justice. So all credit goes to Max.

    Here is the link to the listing if you want to see more.

    I love these. Max did good job replicating the original scales shape and with a notch to match the razor.
    Of course t-shell and ivory is hard to come by these days, but this looks pretty good too.
    enjoy!

    I had my first shave with it not long ago, and it was great. It's a real smooth blade, and gave me a close shave.

    Now I just need to work on technique so this razor doesn't out class me by such a large margin.

    Thank you thank you for buying that. I looked at that damn razor every single frickin' day. If not for the fact I have so many that size I would have bought it. I say it is one of the prettiest razors I've seen on here, not a single thing I don't like about it.

    In fact, I like it so much that I asked Max to use the same material to rescale one of my razors!
