    Default Second Chance Offer....

    Well, I don't even remember bidding on this, and at 58 pounds (plus postage) it's a bit rich for me.
    But...............What would you do in my shoes ?

    I have an Elmo that's similar to this that's in my rotation now. Its a superb shaver!!! I'd hone it up and use it, no question!!! The Kropp is part of a family of razors made by Osborne, Garrett & co. They made 5 different brands of razors, Kropp being the most popular, ( SRP is flooded with Kropp posts.) If you do a search you'll find lots of info on the kropp.

    Well, I bit the bullet, grabbed the bull by the horns and bought it.
    There seem to be a fair few Kropps on the 'bay at the moment !!

    You certainly don't see many 7/8 Kropp razors, I've restored many Kropps and haven't come across one, good price as well. PS excellent shavers, in my opinion a very underated razor will shave as good as anything out there.
