![]() To really appreciate the difference you need stretch your skin to feel the difference in aggressiveness or have leathery skin to begin. I forgot I had written this up elsewhere when I owned all the Krona and pre Krona variants but I had compared them by shaving them against each other and found they come in 3 distinct types of shaves. This style should be a 68 - 74 possibly late as 77. This long metal knob razor should called a Krona, notice the newer lifter mechanism and writing on the doors. See how the lifter and door heads are common to the 67 and earlier razors. These most likely are 1967 or early 1968 before they are rebranded as Krona razors. They based on this will fall into Krona or not Krona.įirst the not a Krona long metal knob razor. That leaves us with the long metal knob razors. Notice they have the newer lifter mechanism and notice how the doors are marked on them. The 3 on the right are Krona razors since they coincide with the Krona brand name being associated with the razors. They are not Krona razors since they would predate 1968, they also have no markings on the doors on the heads. The left 3 which are the 2 short metal knob Schick versions and the Eversharp Eagle. ![]() The 3 on the left have the older lifter mechanism, the 3 on the right have the newer lifter mechanism. Here is how I would differentiate the razors as whether they are a Krona or not. If you want to get into the gory details about when each manufacturing revision happened based upon all this see this thread here. Final year they sold these razors were 1977. In about 74 or 75 it looks like they stopped selling metal knob razors except in the case of the special bicentennial gold plated razor sets sold in 1976. ![]() 6th 1973Īd showing the plastic tto knob packaging with the Super Chrome bladesĪd from Wisconsin State Journal May 24th 1973 This year sold the Krona chrome blades packaged with both the plastic TTO knob razors and metal ones.įrom either 69 or 70 on they switched that up as seen in ads from 1973 here showing how they packaged eachįirst here is metal knob versions packaged with the Krona edge bladesĪd from the Asheville Citizen Times Jun. In 1968 they switch back to the Schick brand and they also introduce the plastic knob razors this year as shown in this ad here. Here is the first and last year they changed the brand from Schick to Eversharp, this coincides with the Eversharp Eagle razor and since we know this came with only a long metal TTO knob then we know for sure 67 is the earliest confirmed year for this change in razors.Īd from the Oakland Tribune Feb 9th. The switch over either happen in 66 but not later than 67. In 1966 they are still selling short metal TTO knobs as shown here. There is no mention of these razors in 1964, The first variations had short metal TTO knobs.Īd from the Times Jul. Here is the first instance of the Schick DE razor being sold. Next post will cover the actual timeline.įull page ads can be viewed as attachments Whether they also changed them on the Schick razors is unclear but we do know that 1968 they did for sure. We also know when they changed the metal knob styles from short to long no later than 1967 when they produced the Eversharp razors based upon the ad record alone. So with that the production years for these razors were 1965 - 1977. ![]() If they produced gold plated razors in other years I do not know. It looks like they varied the pricing on each by changing the amount of blades included with each razor.įrom 1975 - 1977 best I can tell they stopped selling metal knob razors except for the gold plated ones known to have been sold in 1976 for the bicentennial. In 1969 or 70 through at least 1974 you had 2 distinct packages and razors the metal knob razors were packaged with the Krona edge blades and the plastic knob versions were packaged with the super chrome blades. In 1967 they were packaged with Eversharp double edge blades, this set also coincides with the grey handle Eversharp Eagle razors. Whether that holds true from 69 - 77 I do not know right now since they packaged the Schick razors with different blades depending the years.įrom 1965 - 1967 the razors were packaged with Schick stainless steel DE blades. The only year we know for sure they were referred to as Krona razors is in 1968. Depending the year they were packaged with different blades hence the Eversharp name for one variation or Schick name. The were always called Schick double edge razors except in 1967 when they produced the Eversharp razor. This thread will try to put together as much information based upon ads and other sources to infer the order they were produced in, what years they were made and so on and so forth.įirst piece of misinformation these razors were always called Krona razors. This happens to be another razor we don't know much about except people buy them with no idea or care for the history behind them.
