In honor of our upcoming Independence Day I'm going to have two PIF's for a couple of user grade razors. Nothing special. I will be keeping my end of it CONUS.
I would like to see this go to a current member of our armed service's, a veteran who is wanting to give shaving with a safety razor a first go, or wanting to try it again after a long layoff. I would ask that you not presently own a DE razor. No problem putting your name into the hat to forward it on to a qualifying individual, here stateside or overseas. I'll throw a box or two of Derby's in with it as well.
So for PIF#1 we have a Schick Krona. Plating is dull and may be able to be shined up with few dark spots here and there. I've given it a preliminary cleaning with scrubbing bubbles, but it will need to be sanitized and cleaned a little more (it's 95% of the way there--but I'm out of bubbles, Maas, and barbercide unfortunately). Mechanically it's sound, just not a looker. Krona's are known for their nice, smooth if albiet mild shave. Perfect to start with.
I'll run this PIF till Sunday night (July 1st) Tuesday night midnight central time and randomly pick a winner Wed. morning.
Just post in this thread that you support our soldiers and I'll put your name in the hat.
