    razor1.jpg razor2.jpg Does anyone know what the acronym T.E.C.S S.F. stands for on some Heljestrand razors? The S.F. is on a second line so I thought maybe some San Francisco importer. The one I have is a square point, full hollow, 11/16", but no No. 8 marking.

    Your guess is probably valid

    Most likely some type of Supply House / Hardware Store

    Figured it out. It stands for The Exclusive Cutlery Shop, San Francisco. It was run by Carl Bergfried from about 1925 and by his son Herman to at least 1990.
