    I am jealous of your MK133. I have the MK31, but prefer larger razors. The Swedish razors are excellent.

    Thanks sir, then you'd like the Mk 144 7/8 in ivory on the left of the Mk 133! :)

    Cheers, Steve

    Yes, indeed. Three years ago, I was offered both of those razors from sellers in Sweden for a terrific price, as well as some restored with the natural scales from Belgium. I hate I didn't follow through. The MK31 is also ivory.

    It was a fine two pass shave this morning with my Engstrom frameback. What a fine razor!

    My puck of Stirling bay rum soap is still going strong after almost 3 months of daily use. Great soap!
