Schick DE?
Hi everyone! My mother in law saw me looking a blades on the internet and said that she had a razor for me. She brought me a Schick razor still in it's box with the instruction manual. It hardly has any signs of use, it has a black hadle and twist to open. On the bottom of the plastic case it says it was made by Shick, a division of the Eversharp company in 1965. I haven't gotten my first shipment of blades yet so I haven't tried it. Does anyone know anything about these? I see lots of info about the Gillettes but nothing on the Schicks.
Souds like a Krona. If it is it's a great razor,IMO; it's a mild shaver, but I have no difficulty getting a BBS everytime. I much prefer it to my Gillette Techs, which I find give me a harsh shave with Crystal blades. The Krona's head geometry and long handle are its strong points. I put it up there with my two favourites, the Merkur 38C and Edwin Jagger DE Chatsworth in faux ivory, and ahead of my Fat Boy adjustable and Gillette SS.

Depends if you are sterilizing or cleaning gunk out of it or both.
In my opinion boiling is a no no on plastic parts.
To sterilize I use rubbing alcohol or barbicide.
To clean I use an electric toothbrush and hot water. Might use some scrubbing bubbles on one that is not a collector but even then I'm careful.
Really in the long run I doubt if any pathogen would survive long on most razor surfaces cleaned with just soap and water. If the razor was years in storage not many germs would have the ability to survive if the razor was dry and stored in a closed container so that fresh germs could not access it.
If any germ still survived under such harsh conditions (by germ standards) it is unlikely they could be affected by anything short of a nuke or maybe a phazor set on maximum ...but only if desperate.
I would use the nuke first then do clean up with the phazor.
You might want to try the rubbing alcohol or barbicide first though.

What the heck - lets just keep mixin' stuff together till it blows up or smells REALLY bad!!

Most people like this razor. It's on the longer and thinner side, and perhaps a little on the light side. Underneath the plastic on the handle is a metal mechanism. There are many minor variants, but the shave is probably almost the same for all of them.
There have been several threads here discussing this razor - search for the word "krona".
