Default Finnish Straight Razors
Anyone know whether there are straights made in Finland? I know they have a knife making tradition, but I have never seen any mention of straights on the forums.

We will be in Helsinki at the end of the month, and I hope there will be time to poke around in some cutlery stores.

I have never seen a razor made in Finland however I'm sure there must be some. Probably a very limited production and very few local makers.

Sparks, Nevada Police report last night Homer La Fong Died while shaving with his straight razor. His wife reported he was using his Iwasaki Razor and while shaving his neck it just seemed to have a mind of its own and came to life and cut his throat. Subsequent investigation revealed the razor belonged to Toshiro Kawasaki a WWll Kamakazee pilot who was killed when his plane slammed into the USS Yorktown. His last act was to shave with that razor. It is suspected the razor is haunted.

they must've made razors, but probably it wasn't a big industry as in sheffield or solingen, may be easier and cheaper to find than booze though
