Catch Of The Day!
Ooooooh yea!
Sometimes things just goes your way!
I won two razors on an internet auction, one that I've been searching for and the other was just a bonus that came with the other.
Got them today and man, they were in very good shape!
The first is a Klas Törnblom concave grind, sleek, light and black.
The second is a Johan Engström concave grind, sleeker, lighter and white.
How about a pair called "Black and White"!
Both in very good shape, no rust, almost looks unused, the only thing that is bad is the scales of the Engström, a small piece off at the pivot pin.
I paid 14$ for both, including shipping!!!!!!!
The strop is a homemade one, 2 3/4" wide, with stainless pipes in the ends for rigidity, haven't tried it yet, but it looks quite promising!

Very nice catch! Hope they give you great shaves for a long time.

Every Swedish made razor I have is a great shaver. Easily brought to super sharp and holds an edge.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
