NOTES:
I was about to give up on the Krona and then I realized I had only ever tried the original Schick blades. So I pulled an Astra SP from one of my other razors and used that. Wow, what a difference and I am not sure why that did not occur to me sooner... Pretty good shave except I opened up a couple blemish cuts/scrapes from my last shave.
