This razor, paired with a Feather, does things no other razor does for me. It zips right over my chin without catching or roughing me up, it cuts WTG with aplomb, and it gets me to at least DFS in two passes every time, with zero irritation- no matter how careless I am.
In other words, it sort of takes the fun out of shaving, in a way. In any case, I had no intention of loving it. The plastic handle and lightweight metalwork screams "MASS-MARKET PRODUCT". Also, I'd all but given up on DEs, having converted to Gemology and the occasional injector. Somehow, though, the thing just delivers.
It's become my main weekday razor. On weekends I still haul out the 1912 and take my time (and probably get a closer shave overall) but the Krona steals the "no time, no mental bandwidth, just need to shave and go" crown from my black-tip SS, no contest.
Get one, while they're still going for $5-15 on le Bay.
