Hello, finally went with silver. I suspect this will look even more gorgeous with a bit of tarnish. Austrian Ilfe with diy mahogany and brass handle.

The Krona. An unsung razor.
My only non Gillette vintage DE razors are two Schick Kronas and a Polish made Wizamet DE razor, made out of aluminum.

This is inbound - and no - it is NOT a Gillette...(The plot thickens

Beautiful.
It allowed to place any blade.
It did not have a specific name, although lately some call it Filomatic "promotional", since this razor was given away when buying a pack of Filomatic Titanium blades.

Yes that is correct. I forgot to mention that but the buyer I bought this from had mentioned it was given away as a promotional razor. I also happen to have an unopened box of the blades the razor would have came with. I have quite a few Filomatic items that came in the lot with this razor.

Here is the lot, picture from the seller. It includes far as I know every style of Filomatic razor if not every type i.e. it doesn't have the red or green colored Filomatic Inox razors for example.

IMO you would be pressed to find many razors that shave better.
Nice ! Well at least I know it's Japanese... do tell us more !
have this German Apollo.
It is Ultras light (I have been told that the head sub plate could be cast of something called Silumin)
I shaves like a tech, very mild.

If it is Japanese and not an Eastern European Soviet era razor it is most likely either a Super Cross or Super Doll and made probably in the 60s time frame.
Right on the time frame, Andy, but not on the brand name. But you sure know your razors
I will post more when I get it in hand
