I recently bought a razor from a local antique shop as it was £3.50 and I could'nt resist! It is marked "KROPP" on one side of the tang and "GROUND IN HAMBURG" on the other. It is a 6/8 extra hollow ground with black synthetic scales. Having cleaned it up and honed it, it gives a very good shave.
Anyway - can any of you tell me anything about the manufacturer, history, &c.?

Thanks,

Duncan.
