Thread: Joh. Engström - Sweden - Faux Tortoise

I don't know if I should laugh or cry but this one turned out to be a real beauty. Pictures don't even do it justice.

I used another faux/imitation tortoise print then the C.V. Heljestrand I posted before. Personally I'm very satisfied with the result of this imitation tortoise.

The blade is a Swedish Joh. Engstrom polished to a high mirror shine. As all Swedes these are excellent shavers. Smooth and sharp to the bone.
