Thread: New razors for me and my brother.

Over the past few months I've managed to get my older brother interested in straight razors and a couple weeks ago I got a text from him asking if I could help him with finding a good first razor, I proposed that he could come visit sometime so we could discuss what type of razor he was looking for, what my budget was and I also went over all the basic techniques of stropping, lathering and shaving, a few dos and don'ts and we ended with me doing a quick demonstration shave before I let him try doing his sideburns with one of my razors.
I also gave him my "DR Harris aftershave milk" since I rarely used it anyways.

I got him a C.V Heljestrand MK30 for a very resonable price 360 SEK(about 52$) and when I was at it, I bought myself a Klas Törnblom for even less, 260SEK(38$).
The Törnblom shaves very nicely but the scales are pretty boring black plastic and they are also too fat for my liking so I've ordered a horn slab to redress it in.

The Heljestrand is in very nice conditon with white (ivory?) scales but I'll have to hone it and have a few test shaves with it before I send it away
