Got involved over the weekend in a discussion of Krona razors in another forum. During that discussion I realized I had not touched my Krona since August when the original broke and I began shaving again with my back up. Well thanks to another friend on a different board, I was finally able to obtain my gold Centennial Krona. So today I decided to shave with it. It was like going home. I didn’t realize until halfway through the shave that I was totally an automatic once I felt the familiar Krona shape in my hand. 50 years with a razor will do that to you. The actual face and head scraping part of my shave used to take about five minutes on the face and about the same on the dome. Today I finished both in about four minutes. I don’t remember the specifics but I was truly on automatic. My old friend delivered a DFS on both head and face. I’m clean and refreshed and ready for the day!

great shave and pic Jeff.cool razor.it's good to go back to start mode sometimes.for me that meant carts so i am grateful for my newly learned shave type and left them behind.
Thanks, Gary! A little lazy start this morning. I slept until almost 5am this morning. That's sleeping in for me.

Nice shave, Blair! Sorry about the irritation and cuts. It happens sometimes. Good luck on the rest of your trip.
