Thanks!! That’s what I thought as well and why I fell in love with it. If you zoom in you can see the matching logo on the scales as well.

That razor is an amazing razor. I have the exact same razor. The pics do not do the scales justice.

That's a very nice looking razor, but how did you manage to make the hedgehog stay put while taking the photograph?

That’s killer!

Sorry to correct you Matt but I believe that it actually might be a razor.

Anther super sweet blade!!!

Thank you that's very kind of you.

Heljestrand of the smaller kind. It's a great shaver, but the size might come as a disappointment if you're in to more hefty tools.
I wish you all a very nice weekend. Personally I'll try to spend most of it gardening.

I’ve got one that looks just like that. For me, it’s the reduced size of the tang and tail. It’s just small enough in my mits to be slightly uncomfortable, and causes me to pay attention. I’d say, it’s dimensionally 80% of a standard 5/8, or the 31.

My 24 is no issues in hand, but my 30 is.

I've got fairly small hands (size 8.5) so I'm fine with the 30, but I fully understand you. The 24 is a very different creation. It was made to be The Allround Razor, and as such Heljestrand produced it unaltered for +60 years. Since other makers like Hellberg, E.A. Berg and Neiström among others made exactly the same razor model it was by far the most appreciated razor model in Sweden. However as far as I now it only was sold domestically.

Lol bribe it with some promise of lather. I never realize how big the Rooney 3 is sometimes.

The 24 is appreciated here as a rather exceptional shaver. I’ve had a pair of vintage bone scales set aside for her.

Although the gentleman that made my brother in law's razor won "Forged In Fire" and is a fine bladesmith, the grinding and edge geometry does not work well. I finally achieved an acceptable shaving edge by employing 3 layers of tape on the spine. I despise honing with tape.
