Usually quite plain (a la Bengalls, which I also rate), Kropps were a London company that had their razors made in Sheffield and Hamburg and sold them world-wide (my 8/8/ was made for Whiteway & Laidlaw, Rangoon!). SO - let them out for a bit of air, chaps! I will put some photos up asap but any that you have - let's see em!

I've owned quite a few Kropps, and restored many more, but I've never seen a 8/8 I would really like to see a photo of that razor if possible. I'll leave you with a few I've restored.

Currently getting ready to restore a 13/16, scales were shot so just trying to decide what I want to put on it. Very nice looking razors here. I need me a 7/8 as well. The hunt continues gents.

Amazing shaver!

I would like to be a member of this club, who can help me to buy a decent KROPP ? I start to use a straight razor one week ago with one new Dovo. But for some reason, I feel a strong attraction to this brand and I cannot explain why. In two words, I would like to buy a KROPP. So, help me

Just scooped this off ebay. 7/8" and my first Kropp, hardly used.
