Waiting on this Mint NOS C.V Heljestrand Eskilstuna Mark 32 6/8th Arriving from Germany..I Got it for a Real Good Price..These Can Go for Crazy Money..First One I have Seen Going for a Decent Price for a Long Time..There was Only One Other Bidder on it & I Sniped it the Last Moment..The Original Box Looks Freshly Opened as Ya Can See.. These are Outstanding Shavers.. Billy..
i haven't picked it up yet,will be on monday.but i have seen those scales a few times on the forum here..,
I have seen those type of scales, on many brands of razors. They were intended for traveling, I believe. A lot of times there is a matching hollow cover, that slides over that razor/scales, and fits flush with the larger bottom section. Kind of like a toothbrush case.
Here is a Similar Design Traveling SR with the Sheath or Hollow Cover that Scott is Talking About.. Billy..
thank you Tom.research has said the are 1930s and came in 7 day sets and others,with different scales ..good,bad,junk?
if anyone has a spare sheath it would be cool,or recommend a rescale?..i am a newbie with this stuff..
Not junk. Most Solingen blades are well made. If you have some nice scales you want to put it in, by all means, transplant it. I say this because you might be waiting a while to find a matching sheath. OR, if you are set on keeping it a traveling razor, keep an eye out, on Ebay, for a complete travel razor, with a broken blade. I have seen them. ..
thank you sir.it is in my display case for present time so i will keep my eyes peeled.i like the size and shape so i am glad there are options.i appreciate your advice..
Wade and Butcher I cleaned up and put scales on for the first time. I know there's plenty of mistakes but I'm still pretty proud that's why I put my initials and that it was the first one. I know once I get the proper tools and try a few more times I'll get better.
Just sayin, when you die, you'd better have someone who knows what they're doing in charge of your museum- I mean collection, or all heck's gonna break loose! Sent from my LGUS992 using Tapatalk
And another thing... You keep bringing out these impossibly shiny razors and I keep falling down! One of us has got to knock it off! Sent from my LGUS992 using Tapatalk
My NOS C.V Heljestrand Eskilstuna Mark 32 6/8th Arrived from Germany Today..Its Shave Ready & Been Finished on a 20 K Suehiro Gokumyo Stone..But I Am Not Gonna Shave with it Until I Put a Natural Edge on it.Maybe a Escher Thuringian or a Surgical Black Arkansas..Choices.. I Dont Find the 20 K Suehiro Gokumyo Edges to be that Much Different to a 12 K Super Stone..Nor as Sharp as an Escher Thuri for that Matter.. Billy..
