Yesss! 40 USD Swedish Tradera. Is that Ivory or bone?

Looks like ivory to me. I have an identical razor that I bought from a member here. They are great shavers. BTW Amund I was watching that one and put in a low bid but you wanted it more.

I do have a No29 witch is a fantastic shaver, very easy too hone and takes a fantastic edge, but it's very small. Wanted somthing simmilar but a bit larger. Have You seen the price they take for new old stock No29 on gents.se ?

Looks like ivory to me, and probably is given the make and model. Heljestrand made a lot of ivory-scaled #31's and #32's - I've got I think 5 ivory Heljes, and 1 genuine tortoise.

Ivory, and a nice grain too! Congratulations. Is the other scale as pristine?

It's ivory or an excellent fake, not bone

Hey night, was that the one on ebay recently. If so, nice catch. I was in the running, but she went too high for me. If I had the funds, I'd have put in for more...
