Hey Folks,
Coming up on a birthday and I'm interested in asking for a new razor. First, per my thread title, my daily driver for months since its acquisition has been my lovely gold Krona. What I love about it and what qualities I would look for in a new razor is how effortless the shave is. It's buttery smooth with enough efficiency for my needs. Shaving for me is relaxation and a calling ritual to start my day - so I've never gotten on board with razors requiring "respect" or it will bite.
My goal in buying any new razor would be maximizing smoothness with efficiency. Coming from a Krona I would also prefer minimal blade feel but I'm willing to compromise for the right razor. But essentially I'm looking for something modern to throw into my rotation that captures that Krona feel while being a possible upgrade in efficiency without a significant sacrifice in smoothness.
It's a birthday gift so I'm open to all price points. I've looked at everything from some models of Timeless and Charcoal to even the SLOC and Lupo and everything in between. Apparently the Colonial Silversmith would have been ideal but, alas, no longer in stock.
Look forward to your insights!
Edit: Let me add. My current selection is small, consisting of a Canadian Tech, Baby Smooth, and Colonial Generals in brass and aluminum.
