    Very happy to be the newest caretaker of this pair of Heljestrand MK31’s.

    Not the greatest case, but maybe a new restoration skill to learn. :)
    After a few minutes of rubbing with Flitz...

    That is ****ing gorgeous. Sorry but just saying it's gorgeous is a huge understatement. I am in love with that razor. And now I hate you because I want one now and I know it wasn't cheap. LOL. That wood would make an amazing brush handle. What wood is that?

    So whether it is Scott bringing examples of these back to life or Billy somehow getting his razors straight from a long gone factory, I needed :) an Engels in my life.

    Plus you have that beautiful @lindyhopper66 Engels Perfection that started the almost 1000 page straight razor thread... always on my mind.

    So this one landed:

    Has some cleanup needed, but I like that. And coming in at 8/8... couldn’t resist.
