Thread: New member from Bromsgrove (Worcestershire)

I had a German straight razor years ago, but couldnt use it, there was no where to ask advice.Recently I bought a Carrera 877 from a brick-a-brack stall. In very good codition. I'll put a picture up if I can figure out how to. If one has any information about this razor I would be very grateful. It's British and made in Sheffield

Did you post that pic, and Worcestershire sauce is one of my favourites. Up there with Lancashire relish

Still figuring out how to do it. Perhaps I'll send you some worcestershire sauce!

welcome to srp, aaand copy and paste Neil's research to make it look like my own...Charlie Myers was the man who did the grinding for Osborne, Garrett & Co - famous for Kropp, Osgar, Ogee, Elmo and Carrera straight razors in the latter days of that company. Charlie Myers had his own business - C. Myers & Son, run from Athol Road. Some time in the 1950s - or earlier - Osborne, Garrett & Co became Kropp Manufacturing Co, and operated from the same address. So, at some point Myers took over Kropp. Previous to this, Kropp razors were ground either in Germany or Sheffield and the addresses included Firth Street, Bateman Street and Dean Street in London.
