Thread: Svenskt stål/Swedish steel

Hello gents.

I'm about to join the club. This morning I went "hunting" in a flea market and grabbed my first Swedish razor- -an Helj #31 with some rust. I de-scaled the razor and began to take care of her. When I'm done, I'll show it.
I noticed that some of you have this model, the M K 31, but mine is dressed in black, yours are either with white scales or tortoise scales. That's strange because the razor seems original... .
Also, what size is your #31 razors? Mine is near 5/8 and a tad short in length comparing to my other razors.

I guess there are several of us. Swedes I mean

En till här!

I guess that adds one more to the count... Swedes that is

I landed a C.V heljestrand no 2 today.
Will try and clean it up and take a picture of it.

Anyone know when these where produced? How old it might be?

Paid about 6 bucks for it.

Here are 2 pictures.
One before and one after.

I havent managed to get it completley clean, but I am not sure if that is even possible.
I sharpend it today and I will soon try it for shaving.

It say Eskilstunaboden Trollhättan on the blade.

Trollhättan is a town where the car SAAB is build and its a 40 minutes drive from where I live.
Thats I i picked up this razor, thought it was fun.

So what do you think I can do with this to get it look better?

Ännu en svensk anmäler sig!
Någon som vet var man kan få tag på mässings "pins" och brickor här i sverige?

Another swede joins in!

Mera svenskt stål!

It is marked "D.W Dahlgren Eskilstuna Sweden" I think is a wedge,or pretty close..
Don't know what the scales are made of...Tips anyone?
I will polish her up and try to make her shave ready,might have to repinn her,she's a bit "wobbly" in the pivot pin..

Looks good Woork.
About my Eskilstuna boden razor I talked to my dad who lived in trollhättan as a small kid and have good knowlege from that place. It seems as eskilstunaboden was a hardwareshop. Or whatever its called where you can buy stuff like axes, shovels and other stuff.

Inte så mycket stål men ändå..=)

Just got a tiny SSA eskilstuna razor!
The blade is only 1 cm, should make it a 3/8, in the pic beside a 6/8..

Some type of bone would be my guess with the scales.
