Schick Krona Love !

[Scott0079]

I Freakin' Love My Krona ....I have bought three in the past month....just to be on the safe side....anyone else feel the Krona love??

 

[Triple Beam]

Awwww yeah.....been using it for the past 1.5 months exclusively. All my old Gillettes have taken a backseat to it for now.
Now, keep cool about this before everybody catches on to what great shavers they are and drive the cheap prices up!

Ya!

I love the utilitarian vibe of the Krona, and the sharp, angled, '70's "Logan's Run"-inspired, futuristic, dystopic styling.

Everything I've heard about this razor has been superlative. For some reason, though, I just can't get a close shave with it. I've tried 3 different ones. Must be something unique to the angle at which my whiskers grow and the angles of the razor. My brother can get a nice BBS with it, though. Great razor!

K.T.

Works really great when you luck into a big ole gob of vintage Schick blades. Here's a few that I took out for this picture, then back into the safe they go.

Oh the Gillette and Merkur Boys are far too busy arguing which is the better brand to even stop and smell the Krona rose!

You took the words right out of my mouth.

And this thread is worthless without pix!

Stubblefield's Krona porn is justifiably famed the world over.

Who can deny the Krona lust after viewing such sheer, raw Schickness?

I never knew there was a gold Krona. Cool.

The Krona is a good middle-of-the-road shaver that hasn't been "discovered" yet....have a small stash for when that day arrives

 

[BurkDarkpatches]

Stubblefield's collection is Schick-hot!

It is a lovely little razor to use, and cheapto get, so far

 

[David in Boston]

The Korna is just a great razor.

Picked one up for $10, cleaned it up and gave it a try.

Wow!

Easy to use and gives a great shave.

Nice razor to start DE shaving with.

 

[BBrad]

They are certainly under-appreciated and under-valued, given the quality of the shave! Since they were manufactured in much smaller quantities than the more popular Gillettes, one would think their market value today would be higher due to the relative scarcity.

Everyone should have (or try) at least one! For me, I found it to be too mild for my liking. Like a Super Speed, it is capable of a DFS every time without much effort. For me, I could not produce BBS without four passes and a little irritation!

Wow, a grey handled Krona, too! Schick happens!

Wow, a grey handled Krona, too! Schick happens!

I was waiting for that one-surprised it took as long as it did!

I think the grey handled one is cool also.

Labeled as an Eversharp, but identical to the long metal knobbed Krona.

Prices were a bit jacked a few months back, but seemed to have returned to normal. Now if Gilletttes would only follow suit.

The Krona has become my daily shaver. Here are mine:

The regular one I bought from Stubblefield pretty much on a whim, and the gold one I got off eBay. Neither was more than $15. Truly the unsung hero of DE razors.

These are images that I'm collecting for a much larger post on the Krona.

Eagerly awaiting this post. I knew there were metal and plastic knobbed Kronas, but I didn't know about the different lengths.

 

[Stubblefield]

Your gold Krona appears to be in even better shape than mine. Nice score!
