I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I'd be very proud to call everything in your photograph mine. Great photo and great gear.
Domestically there were two Swedish razor models that had large and lasting market shares:
- Heljestrand 4/8 and 5/8 full hollow. Sold as no.2 (4/8) and 3,4,7,8 all 5/8. It was also sold with a thumb notch as no.31 (uncommon).
- The other popular model was Heljestrand no.24 4/8, 1/4 hollow, made for more than 60 years and immensely popular. This morning I shaved with Hellberg's clone of it, labelled no.42. It's not a beginners razors but once your technique is good enough it's easy to understand the popularity of the Heljestrand no.24/Hellberg no.42.

Who tossed that turd in the punchbowl?!
Test day today: a couple I honed yesterday and which will probably be sold (I have too many razors!). Both Sheffields: top, John Clarke & Son, 6/8, bottom, Haddon 13/16. Great results!
