    Default Swedish madness.

    My latest acquisitions. Klas Tornblom , Black Velvet , C.V Heljestrand MK 31 , Erik Anton Berg and Lindner & Co. I can't wait to try them all.

    Congrats! I got a couple of those myself and I'm very happy with them, especially that first Thörnblom.

    I always liked the finger- notch in the Heljestrands.

    i've cleaned and honed that razor and i'm amazed how its shave. I prefer bigger blades but this one is my number one at the moment.

    I was following one on ebay a few years back that had brown scales plus engraving. Sadly, I didn't win it.

    Correction: that one I was following wasn't a Helji.

    I made a hot needle test on the scales and i think they are ivory. My "Holy Grail" at the moment is MK 34 which is 8/8.

    Very nice indeed. Swedish razors are great shavers...more than likely the two are ivory by the look of them in the photo. Great finds!
