    1965 Schick Krona

    How come the Schick Krona gets so little love. I just got one and it's a nice shaver with a long handle. :happy088:

    Neolithium I am Canadian, eh

    I've loved Kronas a long time, Haven't found one in good enough condition for a decent price though. They are extremely beautiful IMO.

    Nice! You got one with a metal TTO knob... <sigh>

    Good on yer! :happy088:

    Krona is my favorite TTO (Gillette adjustables are a different cetegory)!

    I just picked one up myself. Kind of light. Might give it to my wife to use. She likes razors with a long handle.

    I like the Krona. It's a real stand-up razor.

    I have one. After watching @Ryan B SOTD inspired me to buy a Krona. And I'm glad I did.

    I have two of these. They're among my absolute favorites. They're both in excellent condition too.

    Maybe they're under-loved because of being plastic, but they give one of the smoothest shaves of any DE in my opinion... you almost have to try to cut yourself with it... perfectly angled head, I guess.

    I love mine. It's the only razor I can get a decent shave using a Derby blade. No idea why.
