The "Gold Krone" ("Gold Crown") cut-throat razor was a brand name used by German manufacturer EKS (a common marking found on these razors), produced in the famous blade-making city of Solingen, Germany. The name "Gold Krone" (German for "Gold Crown") served as a brand name or a specific model designation. Another related and commonly seen brand is "Krone & Schwert Solingen" ("Crown & Sword Solingen"). These razors are recognized as vintage items, often dating back to the early-to-mid 20th century. As with many vintage razors, their value often lies in their craftsmanship and historical significance. Traditional straight razors need regular maintenance, including stropping before each use and occasional honing to keep the edge sharp. Shaving with a cut-throat razor requires practice and a specific technique to achieve a close shave without irritation.
