Yeah, that sucks. As expensive as they are, I would be sick. It's a shame that there aren't more brick and mortar stores carrying them, so a buyer can lay eyes on them in-person.

Hey, just recieved my Father's Day present (Australia Post is sunning slow) from the Bay. I cleaned and sharpened it up in no time at all and now I have my second TI razor exactly 21 years after the first.
Beautiful.
so not cool. What models are they?
Must.... resist..... temptation.....
No real models for them. They are all round nose polished and no markings. The tang is stamped 52 on one and 360 on the rest of them.
Should have this one by tomorrow.............
Beautiful. Missed them when they first came out and haven’t been able to get my hands on one since.
Did you get it yet? Thoughts?
No. Still hung up between here and Tallahassee

I've ordered two TI's and they should be here on Monday. I'm currently looking at a third. I may have a condition.
The straight razor forum is a kind of open asylum, so anyone who is here voluntarily must be a bit.......different.
...Me I checked in more than six years ago

Yeah, but you've got a great collection....
You got #1, I just bought #2.
Thank you, that's most kind of you
The collection started out as a cute baby about twelve years ago. It grew slowly only taking up one shelf in a bookcase for years. Then about 2012 it began to grow uncontrollable. Today it has a room of it's own, but it hasn't grown much the last few years, kind of like an adolescent who has left puberty. The room isn't crammed but well organised with two display cabinets and a large cabinet holding parafernalia like strops, brushes, soaps and the razors I never should have bought. Then there are two very nice armchairs and a small table. So it's a very nice place to sit and have a conversation with guests while they most likely are wondering if I've totally lost my marbles.
The well lit up display cabinet holding my collection of historic Gillette razors (I love to just stop and admire the beauty of the Gillette ABC razors), my old Swedish DE razors and the standard DE razors I've kept illuminates the staircase at the ground floor.
If @Mango ever launches that straight razor museum website I've been nagging on him for many years to build I might be able to add a subsection displaying the history of the Eskilstuna razors.
Besides from the above I'm a very normal widower focusing on giving my young son (The Cub) a good upbringing and putting food on the table. I guess that I'm to be considered lucky being able to indulge myself with this hobby.

Mango has some crazy awesome razors. I haven't seen him post a bland one yet.
And you never will
And you never will
Let's see if we can talk him into taking a group picture of his collection - or a montage.
