Schick Krona

[vas182]

I recently purchased a vintage Schick Krona razor on eBay for $15. This razor is fantastic! It's just aggressive enough and the weight distribution is perfect. It beats all of my new Merkurs.

I have one that I got at a local antique store for a five spot.

It is a smooth shaving, very well balanced razor.

Congratulations on the acquisition.!

Yup i got one a few months back and agree. It is a great shaver. The longer handle is nice too.

The Schick Krona is an awful razor ... it is way too mild, and all plastic!

So do yourself a favor, and send them to me ... I will dispose of them properly!

Haha! Funny guy

If it was 20 grams heavier it would be a superstar. I like it but don't love it.

 

[Milkman]

have one, decent shave but low weight , when i found it in my dad'S old stuff , had no idea it was actually worth a few bucks !

When I first started wet shaving I was using a Gillette G1000 (a new, cheap store bought plastic razor) with absolutely wretched results. I would have quit if my Dad hadn't given me his old Krona, thank god. Now I have gravitated to an open comb for better results, but I still think kindly of that old Krona. It's a good, solid, mild razor with good balance.

I had one till SWMBO discovered it. Now, of course, it's hers.

I wonder if you bought it from me. I just sold one for that price on the bay.

Gentlemen,

I nominate the Schick Krona razor as the most under-rated razor in DE razordom.

 

[Luecke2326]

Great razor! Love it with a feather!

 

[Toltepeceno]

I like mine, but prefer my more mild blue tip first and 40's tech second.

I tried mine for the first time today. I used a new shark blade in it. I got a really good shave with it, but I really don't know how I feel about it yet. I really shaved much more haphazardly then normal with a lot more pressure than normal and got a bbs shave, perhaps even better than my EJ89, with no nicks or weepers, nothing... but it really is light and it really is mild. I know, everyone's reading my post and thinking, "duh, you got a bbs shave with no trauma and you don't know how you feel about it!" Well, yeah!

I'm just not used to such a mild razor. I'll give it a ride around the block. Race it up and down the street a few times and see how she goes. I started out the same way with the Schick Injector but now have formed sort of an attraction to it. Though, it also still has to prove something more to me.

Even the ultra light and mild Feather Popular gives you a rash over time when you develop a habit of applying pressure. I don't expect the Krona to be different. In fact, the Feather Popular is milder than the Krona. The Popular shaves best with a sharp blade ... and no pressure!

 

[Zeke]

Shark is a pretty sharp blade... and when I said I applied more pressure I meant compared to my Aristocrat. If I were applying an insane amount of pressure I'm sure there would be some graphic signs of it, such as nicks and bleeding. I have never developed a rash from shaving.

My desert island DE. Goes perfectly with a Gillette Silver Blue or 7 O'Clock Black! Congrats!

I misinterpreted the word "pressure" then

I did develop a slight rash frim using the Feather Popular. It disappeared when I realized what was going on.

I love using one of my several Krona's. I always get a great, easy, comfy shave. I don't have a single other razor in my collection that I prefer more.

 

[MegaBullfrog09]

My Krona is my number 2 razor. I love putting a Feather blade in it. In fact, that's the only razor I can use a Feather with.
