Kropp 7 day set
Nice little early Christmas present from my folks...
They have a bit of hone ware as it looks like they have been well used.
Just given one a little bit of rubbing with some 1500 wet and dry, taken the dullness off a bit.

Nice, very nice.

Funny thing is they are from the same antiques shop that I bought my first straight razor from, which was also a Kropp but that one was ground in Hamburg and is slightly wider and not as hollow a grind.
I only happened see them because I was visiting my folks and had to go to the chemist for a prescription for my son so just decided to pay a visit for a nosey.
Apparently they belonged to an RAF officer who had recently passed away, they hadn't been in the shop long and were priced at £60 (the owner did think about putting them in a specialised auction, glad he didn't).
The scales are pretty spotless, the blades although worn are pretty clean and just need a bit of buffing as it looks like they were in good use (they were all pretty sharp). The box has a bit of cloth wear as you see but that's all.
when I have a bit of time I'll clean them all up as best I can and get them all shave ready.
I've already briefed my parents to find me anything to do with straight razors and the names to look out for
I've passed Santa the message but the beardy git hasn't a clue and will no doubt send everyone a complementary MachIII instead and a tin of foam.
