![]() ![]() Looks like those Eagle logo Eversharps trademarks went into effect in 67.Įarliest we can date the eagle logo based on the first use in commerce date is 19651101. It will accept all standard double edge blades. ![]() Search eversharp and you should also get all the Schick and Krona records in one search.Įarliest record I could find, submitted in 60 and approved in 61Įverything says according to records the first commerce use date for the Krona name is in 1960. This razor gives a very nice, comfortable shave, and is considered a mild razor. These are pertinent records for the Krona trademark. What I can narrow down for sure is when the Krona trademark was first put into use. That maybe a way to prove the 64 - 65 time line and types of razors they were producing. They do show up and that is one way to date the razor styles since a lot of them had dated coupons on the back of the packages. If someone happens to have this particular Krona in the original packaging that will go a long way towards answering my question. I am also making an assumption about short knobs being first and long being second based on the fact they never made short plastic knobs that I know of. The specific time periods they list pre 67 I haven't seen anything definitive, doesn't mean someone won't post something to prove that is the case either or it has been posted elsewhere, so I take those dates with a grain of salt. The door stampings are whole nother issue. I researched other forums with no luck on the answer of what exactly this razor is in relation to the other Kronas including the B&B wiki and threads which are informative but not for this particular Krona. No one seems to know where this fits in on the Schick timeline. This one doesn't and it is the only Krona without the triangle in the Schick logo on the knob metal or plastic.Ĭlick to expand.Observed and known are 2 different things here. Schick Injector Razor: A single edge injector style family of razors. Schick Double Edge Razor, also known as Schick Krona: A Twist-To-Open safety razor produced from 1965 until the late 1970s. Schick Slim Twin: A two-bladed disposable razor that comes in four different varieties. The other is this razor with a short metal knob.īesides the various door markings all the base plates had an M and 3 numbers on them along with made in the usa. Schick XTreme3 SubZero: An improved version of the Xtreme3 razor. So the only anomalies on the metal knobs are the Eversharp Eagle which has the long metal knob and older lifter design. I've never seen a metal knob Krona with newer lifter design thus far. So based on that we can date the plastic knob Krona razors 67 with the base plates stamped patent pending 67 and those without 68 and up with a great deal of certainty and the metal knobs pre 67. Some say patent pendingĪnd once the patent(s) were issued they removed that from the base plate. There are 2 variations which make these date-able to a specific year range. They also changed the door lifter assembly I think at the same time as the plastic knobs. Also they were giving away old stock Krona metal knob razors in 68 with a purchase of blades. Short metal knobs > long metal knobs > long metal knobs taken off market while new lifter design is worked on > Eversharp Eagle sold in it's place or sold side by side> Eversharp Eagle retired > plastic knob w/ new lifter design replaces it or sold side by side with Eversharp Eagle until stock is sold out. The first iteration had short metal knobs What I do know about Krona razors is this. ![]() Btw, I have never used the earliest version.Here is a picture from a certain auction site. I cannot recommend them over Wilkinson UK or older Gillette blades, but they are pretty good. Schick Krona Razor Injector Razor Atra Razor Gillette Open Comb Gillette Slim Razor Slant Razor see all. Schick Injector Single Edge Blades (4 packs ) FAST. I find they either last me several days or over a week and it does very a bit from blade to blade.

Insofar as they all contain Teflon and platinum, there is no difference between any version of the Schick Plus Platinum blades that I know of. The phrase, “with exclusive TEFLON coating” is first used in 1976. ![]() Dispensers are off white/grey and the tops are painted solid blue for the dispensers of 10s and 15s. Schick scooped Gillette’s double edged blade introduction nationally. Wilkinson Blades had entered the US from UK. About 1966 Schick introduced the first Stainless Steel Double Edged Razor & Blade.with the Krona Edge. The plastic dispenser replaces the metal dispenser. I was a Schick District Mgr/Sales Rep in the SE USA, 1964-1968. The dispenser is mostly made of metal instead of plastic. Blister packs have the words Super Stainless printed on them. Schick drops the phrase “with exclusive TEFLON coating” and replaces it with “Fits all double edge razors.” The first package dates from circa 1988 or thereabouts. ![]()
