This style should be a 68 - 74 possibly late as 77. This long metal knob razor should be 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 don't appear until the Krona brand name gets associated with these 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. So how do we tell them apart visually you have to look at the lifter mechanisms and markings on the doors. Short answer is any razors produced prior to about Oct 1968 are not Krona razors and any razors produced Oct.
#Schick blades krona edge how to#
This is the last year for the Schick Double Edge razor and from here on in they only sold double edge blades.įinally how to tell which razors are Schick Krona razors and which ones aren't well we can do that based upon a few manufacturing revisions. They do sell the plastic knob razors until 1977 and here is the last instance I found. It is possible they sold them through 1977 but until more information surfaces this is best I can date these. This how they sold these razors until 1974 when I stopped finding any instances of the metal knob razors except for the bicentennial sets. Next example is of the plastic knob packagingĪd is from the Wisconsin State Journal May 24th 1973
Here are examples of the packaging from 1973.įirst example is of the metal knob razor packagingĪd is from the Asheville Citizen Times Jun 6th 1973 They would vary the price of the sets by the amount of blades they would include with the razors. What the difference between the blades are I don't know but apparently there was even though both were associated with the Krona brand name. The plastic knob razors were packaged with Super Chrome blades and the metal knob razors with Krona chrome blades. I don't know the exact year they split the sets but they did package the plastic and metal razors differently. Notice this the first instance of these razors being called a Krona.įrom here on in I found they sold the metal knob versions until at least 1974 except for the gold plated bicentennial sets in 1976 and plastic knob versions until 1977. At this point they are selling long metal and plastic TTO knob razors, also all Schick razors are packaged with Krona branded blades from this point forward.Īd from Life magazine Oct. In 1968 we see the first instance of the Krona name and first instance coincides with the black plastic TTO knob razors being introduced. the Schick razors are sold with Schick stainless steel blades and the Eversharp with the Eversharp blades. Notice up until this point no mention of the Krona name associated with these razors or blades, i.e. of 1967 they were selling these all throughout the year in a cardboard blister pack or in the plastic travel case.Īd from the Central Home New Jersey News Jan 1st 1967 Now here is an ad for the Schick double edge razor even though this ad is from Jan.
Whether these razors came with long or short metal knobs is unclear but we know for sure by 1968 the Schick double edge razors switched over to long metal knobs.įirst here is an ad for the Eversharp razors, notice the razor is also packaged with Eversharp blades.Īd from the Oakland Tribune Feb 9th. They also sold Schick branded DE razors concurrently with these razors. We know for sure long metal knobs first show up on the Eversharp razors in 1967, which also disappear from the ad records by 1968. These razors came with the short metal TTO knob. Here is the first year I found these razors to be sold, no mention any earlier than 1965. Based upon my research the razors were produced between 1965 - 1977.įull page ads can be viewed via the attachments The second thing is the years these razors were made has never been fully figured out. Since it is Schicktember I've been doing some research on these and put together an approximate timeline for these razors.įirst 2 pieces of information, these razors with the exception of the Eversharp Eagle were always known as Schick double edge razors and not all Schick double edge razors were Krona razors. This happens to be one of those razors that we know of but don't know that much about.
