This is not a Krona...

[El Dingo Satanico]

At least I don't think it is. No date codes, patent numbers or branding. I was told it might be an old Krona knockoff, but it's adjustable. What do you guys think?

Here it is open; no numbers visible:

And here it is closed. Note that the adjustment numbers are now visible:

And I haven't a clue as to what this is.

Never seen that one before. I like the book it's on too. "Mysteries of the Unexplained" razors... Very interesting.

Prototype adjustable Krona?

 

[LiveOak]

I've never seen one of those, but how awesome is that! It's like Schick's version of the bottom dial Fatboy.

I would so totally hold on to that.

How does the adjuster work if it is covered up by the TTO knob?

If you turn the dial past 9 it opens the doors. Took me a minute to figure out.

It's one of a kind, please pass it on to a museum, so the masses can also enjoy.

I might consider that... for the right price.

I'm a little afraid to use this razor. What if it's some kind of mystical gypsy razor that curses you to only use Mach 3's after you shave with it?

At least it's not a fusion curse...

If that's not a Krona based razor, it's awfully close. I only have a later model Krona here to look at right now (plastic TTO knob), but it is VERY similar.

Can you add more pictures of the head design, etc? Like...

Top down open
Top down closed
Underneath
From the side, open and closed.

Perhaps a little less light/flash to reduce the flares.

Does it click when you're setting it, or are the numbers just a guide?

It does click when you set it. The head design is like a krona, but with no branding or numbers or anything. I'll get some more pics up when I can.

Never seen one before, it looks awesome. Too bad more were not produced!!

I was looking at the way the Krona works. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to make an adjustable out of it. The doors raise straight up for a good ways before opening. You'd just have to regulate that natural action, and perhaps reinforce it a bit to make the blade firm.

I had an older Krona (unmarked doors, metal TTO knob) walk through the door today. The head design is the same as what I can see in yours. It is marked Schick and Pat Pending under the head though.

A little off the wall this ....but it couldn't be some sort of Soviet block Schick copy could it? We've seen loads of other cold war erea western 'knock' off's and copies.

When I first posted it this did come up. It very well could be a Soviet knockoff, but I've never even heard of one that's adjustable. It's spooky.

C'mon guys .... it is obviously an AREA 51 RAZOR taken from debri of the UFO crash. (Photos show ALL Aliens are Clean Shaven!)

Gee! Don't you guys watch TV anymore?

Next thing you will post will be the 5 SIDED TRIANGULAR RAZOR BLADE ... or something else so common!

 

[amishmotorboat]

Wow.
I would be really curious to see how the mechanism works.
Could we get a shot of the head with the doors open?

 

[Chester]

My interest is piqued.

I would love to see a side by side comparison with a Krona.

 

[TheBigL]

I had forgotten about this one. I still don't get how the adjuster works being where it is.
