Hello,
Maybe in my hope I missed the obvious, but are either Eljestrand still available?

sometimes we miss threads like this, buying and selling needs to be restricted to the classifieds only.
let's keep the forums for discussion of the razors.
I can't help but feel that a puck of soap is a ridiculously good exchange for that! I've got a tiny 3/8 Heljestrand that's exactly the same in miniature. It takes an awesome edge!
The steel used for Heljestrands is very good. They just got everything right with them they look lovely with the thumbnotch.
Eskiltunia is to Sweden what Solingen is to Germany or Sheffield is to England. They made fine blades.
I can't speak scientifically about these razors, but I can tell you that I have quite a few Helje's now, and they are among my best shavers.
They take an edge very quickly when sharpening, and keep an edge for a long time. The 5/8 MK31 feels small and light, but shaves effortlessly. The MK32 is perfect, in every way. Their thumb notches and jimps make them very maneuverable.
The scales are all understated, and most are either ivory or tortoise. They hold their shape over time too.
