Thread: A little Help please !!!

I snagged a Kron-Punkt razor off ebay for one of the guys at work... I have it all cleaned up and ready for the hones.... I can't find one thing in any of my books about the brand so I can tell him some history about it...
Does anyone have the company info especially dates of manufacture???

Thanks for any help in advance...

I haven't come accross one of those...
Syslight said something about the Kronpunkt on the forum (http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...kt-38-a.html): Dovo purchaced the brand name Kronpunkt from Paul Heups in 1969. I do not know if Dovo made these razors before that time under contract. i have a #91 that is a an excetional shave and it is stamped "Paul Heups Solingen Germany" on the back of the tang.
Other references here: DOVO Stahlwaren Bracht GmbH & Co. KG and DOVO Solingen / Enterprise (North Rhine-Westphalia) - Economy-point.org

There is also a brand named Kron, from Germany, alife between 1919-1922 (cf. Standard guide to Razors by R. Ritchie & R. Stewart, p. 156); but I don't knwo if they are related...

Hope this helps.

I can tell you that Kron Punkt in English means Kron Point. If you cannot find any other factual data, I have a very good imagination and I can develope a provanance for this razor that will make it the most sought after blade of any collector.

making a little known razor world famous overnite gotta love it

1969 - brand name "Kronpunkt" (open razors) from the Heups company and was bought out by Dovo

Thats all I found... and i think that is the year they took it over....

sorry and good luck

Glen, let's use all our imagination here ;-). Most likely, if nobody here knows about this razor, he would never find out the truth ;-). Just kidding.

Al raz.

Just think what you'd have if this was one of the fabled Kronik Punkt razors. You know, the ones that could cleave a Samurai's sword and then shave a face so clean that the follicles would be frightened enough that they wouldn't dare show their stubble for at least a couple of weeks.

Maybe you should check that shank again

I can't believe none of you guys busted on me for no pics

My connect was flakey last night because of the weather, so here they are...

Glen,very nice! Love the look of that gold tang against the red scales.
Your coworker should be very happy.Great job!

Good lookin' razor. I took a look at my copy of Robert Wait's Safety Razor Compendium and found no mention of Kronik Punkt or Paul Heups. So they didn't make safety razors FWIW As you know many of the cutlery mfgs made both. No mention of them in Robert Doyle's Collecting Straight Razors either.
