Kindest regards,

Hi Mark, Kropps are usualy late 19th early 20thC.
Kropp IIRC correctly were based in London but had razors made in Sheffield and Germany often out of Sheffield steel.
Mine is a made and ground in sheffield variant.
They were made in different sizes but nearly always the common old round point hollow ground style.
Box sets were made, black and ivory scaled versions.
Blueprinciple has them in a nearly all sizes, one is a mad 8/8 !

Marcus,
Thanks for the info, been trying for ages to get stuff on these razors. Can't find much via google....!
The belgian blue is bloody (no pun !) brilliant btw.....:-)
Thanks again.

Mark.......

Marcus,
I've rehoned the 5 straights that i use and incleded the BBW in the regime, definately smooths the shave. Yes, I've seen the Kropp club, thanks. I use a Kropp 5/8 and am currently working on a 6/8, but I need to hone a small chip out of that one, When i'm done i'll post some pictures.
take care,

Mark....
