    Schick Krona Chrome Blades

    Thread Starter: rotto66

    I was in a thrift store today and they had some 2 packs of Krona Chrome double edge blades for sale. The packages were dated 1968. I was wondering if anyone here has used these blades and if so what did you think of them? I look forward to your feedback.

I realize that this is my technique since I can shave the right...

After researching 74's , I will be returning and buying all 4 for 8 bucks. Tungsten Swedish steel that would hold an edge for months! WOW! King Camp was rolling in...

    Good Rose Shave Soap?

    Thread Starter: Deano

    Hi guys. I would like some ideas for a rose scented shave soap. I like the TOBS creams and may have to go with that but would prefer a soap. I like the scent of the Trumpers rose cream, which I have had a sample of (thanks Turtle), but the comments I have read here tell me the hard soap isnt too...
