I'll bet... I really want to get my hands on some swedish steel... But I keep getting outbid

if you can try and get a tornblum with that grind. I was lucky enough to get mine for 65 bucks from someone in the classifieds after he had bought it and decided he had too many. Also, the old framebacks are really great shavers too, I got one which was one of my first razors and it is still one my best shavers that I will not get rid, really nice horn handles too.... I think these types shave better than the standard grind ones (such as the MK series) and also generally go for cheaper.

Cool, thanks for the pointer!
