    You are right. Osborne, Garrett & Co had several brands: Kropp, Elmo, Carrara, Ogee, Osgar.

    My first straight razor was a Kropp. They are indeed fine shavers. From what I recall they were ground both in Sheffield and Hamburg. Mine was ground in Sheffield and had it been a 6/8ths I would still have it.
