Welcome @jgreenepa from here in western NY. Glad you decided to join us at TSD. I use to wonder why anyone wound want to use a plastic razor such as a Krona .... up until I tried one, now it's one of my favorites. I have a gray Eversharp eagle Krona and I'm working on getting one for my son.
They’re great razors! I used my first Krona for over 50 yrs. It recently gave up the ghost but not before I replaced it from EBay. Just started shaving with my new Karve. Face shaves were great, but not my dome! Still shaving my head with the Krona, until I receive my new B plate from Karve.
the british aristocrats are rhodium plated along with some others..here's the new deluxe..the original handle and cap are missing most of their gold plating..heavy head..good candidate for a karve handle..imo..
Thanks, DaltonGang! MD Anderson in Houston saved my life five years ago! Great medical resources in your state!
Just received my gold rocket from your neck of the woods. Looking forward to taking it for a spin. The vendor misrepresented the razor, and failed to mention that it had been replated in gold. Still a great shaving tool.
