Morning all,
I've been using the DE area of B&B for a while now and after finding out I was interested in traditional shaving, my grandfather gave me his assortment of collected odds and sods (another post on that later!). Amongst them was a 'Kropp' straight with 'ground in hamburg' on the side. It's definitely seen better days and is in need of a drastic clean up, but could an experienced honemeister put a edge back on it and turn it into a serviceable shaver?
It was never a family item, just something he was given 30 odd years back to put into a jumble sale and kept due to concerns of selling it!
Here's a few quick photos:
If it can't be saved then I suppose it still makes a nice decorative item for the collection!
Cheers,
Chris
