Nice collection Johan!! Welcome!!!

[Kyle76]

My Swedes, in various states of repair. Four Helje's: a 32 and three 31's. A Berg (third from top of the left) and a Bengall (top right). I'm not sure about the Bengall being a Swede, but it doesn't say "Sheffield" like my other Bengalls and it came with a lot of other Swedes and looks like them. I sold a couple of others last week. The 32 at upper left is the prize of my small collection. It's one of a 7-day set with genuine tortoise scales.

P.S. Bjorn, that Berg is a beauty!

All beautifull.
Welcome and thanks for sharing your treasures.

It seems like there are many Bengals in Sweden, maybe they had a good marketing plan
My father sent me a Bengall 3/8 wedge that he had got in an auction box of knick-knacks.
What house, family, clan etc would the Bengalls normally go in?

I have a few more Swedes in the mail. Will post when they arrive.

There's a lot of Bengalls in Australia too. They're Sheffield steel - Cadman and Sons. So that would mean they belong in the British Brigade, or the Sheffield Society, or maybe the Cadman Clan, or perhaps even the Brotherhood of the Bountiful British Bengall!!

Excelent choice of litterature concidering we are Swedes on an American forum

The bricks that he leans his razors against are a series of novel that are classic in Sweden. They are about a group of people that migrates to the US in the 19th century. That is the very short summary of them.

By the way, nice work with your signature. Bringing out the right colours

[crichton]

Well there ya go James - it's time for you to start a thread for the Bengall's!

[Olav Vittfarne]

James,

[Jimbo]

Oh, alright! Just give me a moment to get some photos together and I'll start a new thread....

Thanks!
The idea came to me when I saw that crichton/Eric is from Minnesota, then I just couldn't do it any other way

Nice set you've got there Jim. Those thumb notch Heljestrands are great!

I love the thumb notches! I forgot to include another No. 31 blade that's sitting on my workbench awaiting some scales. Weren't you the one that turned me on to that lot of Swedes on ebay? If so, I am greatly in your debt.

I have two submissions:
First, my Erik Anton Berg in custom carbon fiber scales by philadelph:


And next I present to you "Wednesday" My C.V. Heljestrand MK 31 with real tortoise scales. It's one of a seven day set that, and I was privileged enough to obtain the "hump-day" razor.

[Olav Vittfarne]

Nice razors.
I have few new ones that I have to get around to take pics of. Been a couple of crazy months.

[Jimbo]

I know this is not technically speaking a razor, but I thought it might fit in nicely here anyway.

I got this ages ago from an antiques store in the UK. I'd never really looked at it closely before, but it caught my eye the other day. Amazing what you don't see sometimes. When I got it it had two old razors in it - a Wolstenholm and a Feist Luna. From today it will proudly hold my Heljis:





I guess this was a Paris distributor of Swedish Steel.

Looks very interesting! Hopefully someone can shed some light on this...
