I just inherited my granddads dads straight razor and i have never used one before. but i want to learn now . so i ended up looking for a guy to restore it and put on custom scales on it since its the boring plastic on it right now sucks, so me and the guy came down to snakewood scales. the knife is a C.V Heljestrand J.A Hellberg Sweden 42 and here is a picture on it now before im sending it of for a touch-up, im only doing it cuz its a inherited knife and i know this one is not money worth but for me it means alot. i also ended up getting 2 more straight razors one C.V Heljestrand MK30 with natural scales and a C.V Heljestrand MK32 natural scales(a knife for a 7day set and is the Thursday). Now im looking for a good strop and the other acessories.
