    It was the first I bought, and I just used it a few days ago to shave the old inspection sticker off my Fiat 500 and replace it the new one.
    Goes like this:
    Prep: Windex
    Razor: Kriegar
    Brush (or moral equivalent thereof): Scott paper towels
    1 pass wtg and two or three ATG
    After Shave :Windex (like the guy in My big fat greek wedding)

    The Kriegars can be put to good use, but not on your face.
    Arise, awake, and learn by approaching the exalted ones,
    for that path is sharp as a razor’s edge, impassable,
    and hard to go by, say the wise. Katha Upanishad – 1.3.14

    Maybe they aren't junk, but I believe they're also not razors but knives shaped like razors. A quick look at eBay and you can see that many of them and their ilk have "knife" in the description.

    I'd never buy anything with "knife" in the description as a razor unless it was a recognizable razor brand.

    Cheers, Steve

    I don't like heavy scales on any razor either. It throws it out of balance and makes certain grips difficult. I have a Boker Elite that is a wonderful razor. But If I could have changed one thing about it, it would have been the lined scales that make it heavier than need be. Now attache those scales to a blade that struggles to cut through water and you've got what sounds like a lovely experience in front of the mirror. In fact, the mirror is really there so you can witness your own disappointment.
