    Congrats on a GREAT score! I don't know much about the Krupp but it should shave well. Jr would live the Gillette but I think he has at least one of that model already. The W&B though, GREAT shaver! I have one that had heavy pitting on the etching so it had to go. Here's some of the results. Scales are in Yellow Heart w/ acrylic spacer, NiAg pins and ss washers.

    Don't know much about Krupp but here is what I can find on the internet. The company that you know today to make coffee makers used to be in the business of making steel back as far as the 1790's and got merged out of that business. The wiki that I have read on the subject never says that krupp ever made any straights but I supect that they did since they were in the steel buisness. Its most likely that you have one of the early straights from Krupp from as early as the 1790s.
