So, I bought two "new" razors in the last couple of weeks: a 1964 Gillette Flare Tip and a 1964/65 Schick Krona. Both mild razors, which I prefer. I've always figured they'd be very similar, boy was I wrong. Even using the same blades, either a Feather or 7 O'clock black, the Krona consistently gives me better, closer shaves with far less irritation.
Has anyone else noticed this? Maybe the longer handle on the Krona just fits me better. From everything I've read, the Flare Tip is a great razor, but I'm not finding that so. I think that I'll be selling the Flare Tip once I get enough posts...
Thanks!
