Thread: Finnish Blades.

I'm looking for some second opinions on some blades posted to the Finnish equivalent of Ebay. I know there probably no other Finns here so I know you guys can't read the descriptions.

So what do you guys think of these images basically(they can be clicked and Enlarged):

I like the first and the last piece best. The Heartring that I got (larger and in better shape) is one of my top shavers.

They all appear to be in pretty good shape and readily restorable, it's hard to judge potential blade corrosion from the photo on the 2nd one but it's a Heljestrand and that's a very fine razor.

To DMS and Firestart. I figured I could roll the dice and have all four of them for under 35 euros(and that includes shipping). And just try my luck. Getting anything on Ebay shipped to Finland is also such a pain and relatively expensive this is really my only economical source for blades. Ordering from auction sites is always a gamble. But for these prices it's pretty much a safe bet.

I misspelled it

Pulla

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Jump to: navigation, search

Several pulla loaves


Pulla (IPA pronunciation: [ˈpul.lɑ]) is a mildly-sweet Finnish dessert bread flavored with crushed cardamom seeds and occasionally raisins. Loaves are formed from three or more braided strands of dough, and may be formed into a ring. The outside typically has a shiny brown glaze, formed by a coating of egg white, milk or a mixture of sugar and brewed coffee.

Here's the Heartring that I have. The pic doesn't do it justice as it looks much cleaner in person and the contrast between the blued steel and the goldwash is more visible and stunning.

Well Mr. Milicevic, that certainly seals at least that deal.
I'll be sure to update if I actually win the bid on this item.
I'm a total newb to straight razor shaving and restoration. But we'll see what I can come up with.

Too bad the pic is not up to par, but I'm hoping yours will be a good match for mine both appearance and performance-wise

Wow, what an incredibly good looking razor.
I have a Solingen with a glossy blued tang, it's nice but yours looks darker. The gold fill on the lettering finishes it perfectly. That one's mighty close to too-nice-to-use status.
