I have 2 that I can add to the collection here. The first is a John Engstrom brass frameback from Philadelph, and one of my best shavers.
The second just came in the mail today from Max, a MK31 and I can't wait to shave with it tonight. It actually looks even better in person!

C.V. Heljestrand No 4 and 24. And one that says Jernbolaget Eskilstuna.
The "Jernbolaget" is at least made earlier than 1968, when the company was bought by Bacho.
How do one date the Heljestrand Razors ?
I attached images of all three, I hope they show up :)
(Klart man köper rakknivar av svenskt stål)
gjelder det nordmenn også? HEHE er så godt som svensk har mange svenske kniver kjører volvo!!!:)
No, no, no, how would one know Swedish steel to be superior if it weren't for experiencing other shaves once in a while to ascertain and be able to look down on us southerners with confidence?
Isn't your own place enough for you guys? ;) I'm not at all jealous by the way :w
Not completely ontopic, as it is strictly speaking not about Swedish steel, but interesting nevertheless: did you notice this? Kungl. biblioteket (Swedish Royal Library) has a few scanned and zoomable pages from a 1917 Bengall price list by AB Borlänge Maskinaffär, the Swedish distributor. Featured are the models nr. 23, 25, 27, 29, 70 and 75. (The list on the lasts pages are of bicycle parts.)
I think these two willl fit in this here spot nicely!

The scales on the Engström is unfortunately slightly broken, so either I'll make some new scales, or, if someone has the opposite scalepiece than pictured, change the broken half. They are Ivory btw.
Nice pair cako!
Here ya go.

Xman, I "borrowed":D your idea, and evolved it a little...... For the minority not speaking Swedish..:hmmm:!!
The rest of the members are very welcome to come with constructive critizism and sugestions-is this a good logo?
And of course it's free to use!
Of course, the clearly superior original banner is still available. ;)

Here's my entry into the club. I'm going to try it out for the first time tomorrow.
...but it's a great shaver! :bow

My little Swede.
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...5/DSC00317.jpg
Just had my first go with a Swede, a re-scaled and shortened Tormblum (there had previously been a chip in the tip).
Fantastic grind on these light little razors, and they give a nice shave too!
Yep, the Törnblom is quite a shaver! Too bad the you had to shorten it, though.
Le Duc stainless.
Wedgey stainless razor.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm MMM!
Acme razor.
I know that the road runner gave the acme brand a bad name, but when I saw that it was made in Sweden I thought it was worth a try. It is a very petite thing. I will try it out in the next few days.
You can't quite make it out in the picture, but it has ACME etched on the blade.
I bought this from a fellow SRP member. Great little shaver.

I need some sweedish steel!
I'm loving some of these, lots of very nice shoulderless blades.

Amund.
My second sweede Erik Anton Berg. Does Chanel stole its trademark from Berg's tail? :)
http://traskrom.users.photofile.ru/p.../129068187.jpg
Heljestrand, Eskilstuna, no other markings exept for an "u" on the monkeytail.
Changed the scales from black boring bakelite (alliteration!) to Curly Birch, CA finish, Ebony wedge, solid brass washers with flush-filed stainless pins.
Edge length: 2 3/4"
Edge width: slightly over 7/8", full hollow grind.
So nica a razor deserves a custom brush, made a matching handle, also Curly Birch CA finish, stainless steel bolster on top.
In that aTurchetta 22mm silvertip knot.
Jämmer å nöden va snyggt!!!
Dang and darn what beauties!!!
What is there to add. Cap off.
Just bought a Heljestrand No4.
It costed me 32 USD or 225 SEK.
Here are some pics:

What do you guys think?
Isn't Heljestrand a pretty good brand?
Here's a little Hellberg...
Carl:
That sure is a nice razor.
Shouldn't be to hard to get in working condition.
Heljestrand is a good brand, like all the old Swedish brands.
holli4pirating
Nice.
The worn off word should be Eskilstuna. City of manufacturing.
Maybe I got something like that in the mail today.
Have a few razors now that need to get up here.:o
You do have, Olav! Your debt is deep as the ocean!!:whipped:
NOS 6/8 Erik Anton Berg Frameback
Attachment 30707
Erik Anton Berg, 13/16. Etched on the removable spine: "PRISBELONT i MALMO 1881,
ÖREBRO och BOSTON 1883".
I bought my first Swede today :D A nice 5/8 Heljestrand, no number. No scales either, but I'm excited to figure something out. Maybe my first Swede (which I have long desired) will be my first blade with custom made scales (which I have also long desired)
Swedish steel deserves to be dressed nicely :)
nightbreed and manah: Those are mighty nice EABs.
Don't think I have seen any in such nice NOS condition.
Did any of you polish them or did you find them like that?
My razor was in this condition.
