Vintage Kropp Custom.

I have a small vintage razor collection which I have started to restore, one or two have no original scales, this Kropp is one of them so I purchased some arcylic 3mm sheet off Ebay and made my own, also took the razor to the grinder and took the toe off, gave the blade a good cleaning polishing and buffing, I like to think I gave a vintage razor a little modern update, I hope you approve of my first attempt of a custom job.

Very nice work. The blade turned out looking great and I like the squared off toe. I have a Kropp and it is a superb razor.

You did a fine job with this one. The blade looks really nice, and the scales fit the whole image. Nice one.

Jamie,
You seem to be not only a good straight shaver, but also quite a good restorer as well :hmmm:. There's more to you than meets the eye :nj. Great job :tu

There's more to you than meets the eye, well that's exactly what my Wife said more than 25 years ago Robert, ;) Maybe looking at all those wonderful straights you have Robert as inspired me, see you on shave of the day before the weeks out.

That is an excellent job. I love the way the blade and pins just seem to float in mid-air. The clear scales really make this a work of art.
