Thread: Kriegar just to have?

I was looking round on ebay and saw some (what I thought) cool looking Kriegars. I know from reading through the forum that they aren't good for shaving. But are they goood just to HAVE or are they REALLY that cheap and crappy feeling?

I was just thinking bout getting one just cuz I liked the way it looked

IF you like the way it looks, nab one... They're cheap and make good letter openers..

If you want to use it for pretty much ANYTHING shave related...

Don't. Just don't.

They don't look good in person. Glue everywhere, bad seam fitting, and blades so grossly misground you can see it with your naked eye... if you're legally blind.

They look horrible, mildly put. Besides, I feel it is wrong to further encourage their makers to keep producing these abominations.

Why waste your money?

+1. There are other razors out there that look far nicer, and that you can actually use. Why spend money on something thats not fit for purpose?

I also agree with Ben, they dont look as nice in person. I've seen a couple for sale here in London and they look atrocious, very badly made.

At the end of the day its your money, but they really are terrible razors and very poorly made. Theres definately better looking razors out there, and ones that you can actually shave with..!

It was only like $10. I doubt there's any razor you can shave with for that little of money

We can see you have a mind to buy it so go ahead and report back to us what you find when you get it.
