GIVEAWAY! Another PIF - Vintage Schick Krona DE razor & Blades

I find myself collecting stuff again, and I hate having unused stuff in my shave den, it bothers me for some reason. So, Having acquired both a Henson AL13++ and a Yaqi Ghost Ti 70 recently, I decided to unload my Shick Krona. I don't need that many mild razors and I have not used it in years anyway.

This is a PIF intended for those who love mild (not medium/mild, but MILD razors) or for a new shaver who has not yet chosen a razor (easy to get analysis paralysis around here :D) but would like a vintage beginner razor. Please, if you have a DE89/R89 or 34C and find yourself thinking, "I like this but I'd really like something a little milder." Jump right in!

OTOH, if you have those or similar and love them and have not found them too aggressive, or if you like aggressive razors, please DO NOT join in. You won't like this, trust me whe I say it is MILD. Ideally, I'd like it to go to someone who loves or needs mild razors and will shave with it as opposed to someone trying to fill a hole in a collection where it will likely sit unused.

This is a highly regarded mild shaver by many here, especially head shavers. I'll throw in a dispenser of the circa 1970s Schick Plus Platinum blades with it. I'll choose a winner next Saturday.

It's been used by me, perhaps twice, just cleaned with Scrubbing Bubbles and 91% alcohol. Ready to shave!
 
@JCinPA hit the nail on the head in his description and recommendation on who MUST try this razor. He described me perfectly—a new wet shaver who prefers mild razors and was looking to try a different everyday razor than the DE89. Well, I was fortunate to receive one from @Space_Cadet, and loved every shave!!

This razor is a MUST try for any new wet shaver. Do not miss this generous opportunity to enter this PIF. Sorry for submitting such a lengthy response to simply respectfully decline to enter this giveaway due to already owning the razor, but I cannot over emphasize how great this razor is and the amazing gift @JCinPA will be proving somebody. This razor is what really got me hooked on DE razors. Thank you @JCinPA for your continued extreme generosity!!!
 
If it's open to outside the US, I'm in! I've been really enjoying my Blue Tip Super Speed for it's mildness, and these Schicks are hard/impossible to come across here so haven't had a chance to try one.

Means the week is half over.
