Just won a 3 piece Johan Engstrom boxed set on Ebay
Hi guys,
I just won this when I woke up this morning. Last month I made a pledge to stop buying anymore razors until the end of the year...I did try to stop myself but failed miserably!!
Anyway, can anyone give some info on the blades and why is it in the set of 3? Still fairly new, so I can't really make an educated assessment on the razor except that it's shiny (I know it's impulsive buying). Any clue on the size of these razors? It wasn't stated by the seller and I suspect he is not really a razor guy based on the description of the items.
Would really appreciate any info from you good people. Here is the link to the auction.

The few J.E. f/b's I've had were 6/8 at widest point. The others I can't say. Nice razors btw.

Nice set, I also have a three day set from JE. Nice to shave with.

Nice catch! i was going to go for those but they went up out of my range... But, then again divide by three you got them for a good price.

The price is fair although international shipping cost is a bit steep...and I have a feeling that all 3 blades need professional honing when it got here.

Is it the same set? Are all 3 of yours identical? Mine looks to have 1 blade different than the other 2. Are these make good shaver? Originally Posted by Mvcrash
