Giesen & Forstoff 150 Timor Blue Steel Vs C V Heljestrand MK 30 Straight Razor Face Off Traditional

Hello,

Here we have a couple of corkers a Giesen & Forstoff Timor Blue Steel which have been very little used and it seemed like it first proper hone to me after looking at the scratch patterns on the razor before I started honing & a near minter M.K.30

The Timor stole the show on this shave which isn't something I was expecting but it's got super great steel and the grind is more like a Sheffield grind than a bellied German grind, a very fine edge has been put on this razor and it shaved me very close indeed. The small but might MK.31 is near mint and also has a super fine edge some of the thinnest grinds imaginable were put on the MK series especially the 29,30,31 & 32

The box is a bit tatty for the Timor but the box for the C.V shows how little used the razor is I feel as it's one of the best I've had.
