    Here's my guess.

    I don't think so, that GRS was founded in 1977.

    Interesting; I was under the impression that ERN made razors for Craftsman.

    Ern made them early on and then I think Koeller made many of those marked Sta Sharp and I believe the "Fine Chromized Steel". I have never seen a Craftsman with the GRS logo before.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I just acquired a new GRS Craftsman 9207. I can't find any history on it yet. It came w/ a box too. Has anyone come up with any information on these razors?

    As usual.
    I can usually spot a Martin post, without seeing the name of the poster.
