These are my two new NOS razors. The ERN Master is a magnificent shaver. Absolutely perfect. The Chronik shall remain untouched.
(Both are 13/16" razors.)
Thanx,
Christopher

Holy &^#@%@! ALL HAIL THE CHRONIK!
:bow
So you find a fabled Chronik, claimed to be a fantastic shaver, and you will do nothing to confirm nor deny the legend?
:cry:
I'm afraid to touch it to any kind of abrasive surface. It's too precious. (I feel like the Gollum.)

OMG The Chronik! I didn't think they were real.
Lucky bas@#rd!! lol Very nice indeed!
lol - I knew they are real, but I don't know if I've seen a pic of one in as good condition like that.Quote:

The whole story is pretty fun to read.

Ya gotta see how it shaves. Maybe it's a fantastic shaver, and you'll never know.
Thanks for the great Pics Chris... :tu
To point out the painfully obvious,,, Can anyone say, "By gosh that looks Chronically, like a Puma"
I have always thought these were Puma's, now I think it even more with the excellent photo's from Chris.
from everything i've seen i can't believe the thing in the circle (or for that matter just outside the circle at 5 o'clock) was done at puma
Attachment 57270
or if it was it'll explain why they didn't feel like putting their stamp on it (except that i always thought the stamps came first...)
Nice catch Gugi. I haven't tried one of these yet but from the information I have read from other's that have I would say Not made by Puma. Maybe made with Puma blanks but that's where it would end.Quote:

Dang it! My Chronik is not a Puma? LOL I'm not really sure what's in the circle. Do you mean the grind of the heel? Yes, that was fudged at the factory. Do you mean the spike/point at the stabilizers? That's just the angle of the photo.Quote:

I do not want to be a spoilsport or a mythbuster but there's only one person in this world who claims Chronik razors are better than any other razor he ever touched. However he never allowed anyone with serious knowledge of razors to check his assertions. Dr Moss and a few others who are held in great esteem did not think Chroniks are a class of their own.

Kees,
i think they jest . . .
I hope you are right. I would hate to see newbs shell out loads of money for a Chronik and end up disappointed.Quote:

I was worried about newbies too.
