From the little I could find there was a "Karr's Conquest" razor made in Germany and sold by Salt Lake Barber Supply Company. There are some newspapers with Salt Lake Barber Supply Company mentioned in them but you need a membership to some newspaper archive websites view them (and I don't have that). However, it looks like it's mentioned in newspapers from as early as 1895 and as late as 1936. I'm waiting for input from someone I have in mind, we'll see if he chimes in.
Also a "Karr's Kwality" Scotch Shell strop seems to have been available from Salt Lake B.S.
Welcome to the forum, by the way! Well, you've been joined for a while now but no posts - nice razor first post! Also, cool that it's a razor from your area.
Thank you. I am just a beginner. Thought this one was interesting.

Living in Mormon country myself, I couldn't help but think that a turn-of-the-century razor from SLC wouldn't have much use on it or was a gag gift :)
That's pretty funny. Gag gift. Hahaha[emoji1]Quote:

I had a strop sold by them. It was a black sealskin strop and is one of the few pieces I regret unloading.
It was a great strop.
Forgot to post pic of the back. It has Jewel stamped into the tang.Quote:
