Very nice razor, faux frameback razors are more like wedge, very stiff, you'll like this, if is proper honed. One of the hardest steel from all swedish steels.Enjoy.

Very nice....I have a Johan Engstrom Eskilstuna I believe...has ivory scales...I believe that's another Swede, is the Eskilstuna a style? A brand...from AntiqueH and other's I'm gaining some insight into the Swedes being very highly praised blade...that is a very nice blade you picked up.

Phrank, I do believe it is the Swedish version of Sheffield :<0)
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Thanks 10Pups...don't want to de-rail the thread, but I dug up a pic, it says Johan Engstron, has ivory scales, so I guess this is Swedish as well...

I read somewhere that Engstron is Swedish razor if I'm not mistaken. Eskilstuna is small country which is very well known with steel like Sheffield/England or Solingen/Germany. You have a beautiful razor.

Here are two of my Swedes...both hail from Eskilstuna, Sweden. Despite the contrasting sizes, they share the simple, sleek and elegant esthetic that I mentioned before. I haven't shaved with these, yet, but I expect excellent results from them.

Phrank likes this.When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
It's the same when you are stupid.
