VINTAGE "KROPP" HOLLOW GROUND STRAIGHT RAZOR. A lovely vintage cut throat razor, good handle, all pins good and very clean, no chips or cracks. There are some light watermarks on the non engraved side of the blade and typically some discolouration around the pivot due to age. The blade edge has no chips or cracks. The blade measures approx 18mm across. It appears the razor has had little or very light use. This razor was made in Sheffield for Robert Kelly & Sons of Liverpool who were stockists of engineering tools & cutlery. The blade has been cleaned, polished & honed then sterilized and coated with Fredricssons Razor Oil
Fully restored and shave ready ( see note below )
