never tried the english Wilky but you got to try the German ones again.... other favourites of mine include Minora, Polsilver, Gillette 7'oclock, feather and nacet and BIC (in rocca) so if your taste is anything along these lines you def need to revisit.

These are very good razor as a comparison razor blade as they are mid level smooth mid level sharp. P YMMV

I'm still waiting for my Rocca and Blackbird.
I did try the BIC in a Henson medium (0.85mm).
It was smooth as butter but, the razor itself was very inefficient for me. Left so much stubble behind after 3 passes so I had to clean up with the Progress/BIC, which is a heavenly combo!
(I also tested the Henson with a polsilver and it was equally inefficient. I sold the razor the very next day!)

I wondered where that disappeared to!What a Schick start to the week
Great buy, particularly picking up both versions. The Krona's are terrific razors, on the mild side but I thoroughly enjoy the shave when using one of these.What a Schick start to the week

Yep, there was plenty of chances before I grabbed them though!
Not sure it was a great buy, I was going to wait for the price to come down but ended up just grabbing them.
Interesting too the weight difference, 57g and 38g. Very noticeable in hand.
I've got one in collectible condition, but wanted one (or two) to use

I hope this doesn't put me on the naughty list
I sold the Vespa and the Paypal credit ate a hole in my wallet and resistance to buy MOARRR
Also wanted some soothing witch hazel and menthol options for the build up

Very nice. You have amassed quite a collection. There can be no such thing too much MOAR!

That must have been a bit of a wrench. Are you looking to replace it with an electric Harley?
(Those actually appeal to me... )

With an electric Harley, would you still have to idle it for 30 minutes before you ride it?

No. But they give you a playing card to stick in the spokes for that unique Harley rumble!With an electric Harley, would you still have to idle it for 30 minutes before you ride it?

Maybe you would, but I expect you might at least be able to ride around a corner.With an electric Harley, would you still have to idle it for 30 minutes before you ride it?
Cue Harley jokes... (I know a lot of them
