Delta Echo Razor Works - refinished razors

Well it arrived and look forward to breaking it in tomorrow. Its a brushed stainless (since I am in the Navy I will call it haze gray) prewar tech. I will also say as good as the photos are on the website, they still do not do it justice. Definitely worthwhile if you are interested in purchasing a refurb.

 

Looks great sailor, enjoy!!!

 

That looks really good. I like that non-flashy look, very subtle.

Seems like the first time I have ever described a razor (or anything else that doesn't float) as haze gray and under way. Keep it up, sailor! Remember, sailors belong on ships and ships belong underway. One of the things I really miss about my 12 years in the Navy are the cruises. If in 20 years you don't look back at that time fondly, you're doing it wrong!

 

Thanks BJ, use it good health! Heck, I might have to rename it to Haze Gray.

 

I have used the razor a couple of times now and while the tech is obviously mild it shaves as advertised however, the ease of rinsing/cleaning the razor is nothing short of outstanding. The coating is slick and nothing sticks to it.

 

Concur, this and my Pil's by far the easiest I've come across to clean. I have the steam punk finish and what a difference the clearcoat makes on the finish.

 

Thanks to the very bad influence of friend ChiefShaver here, who recently shared a pic of his Steampunk fat handle Tech, I decided to order myself a Fatboy, my all-time favourite adjustable, also in Steampunk. I absolutely love that deep copper colour plus the accents of the black and brass... Can't wait for it to arrive and to share my first shave with it here in the Den.

 

Just received my 1964 (J4) slim adjustable today and just had my first shave with it.

Beautiful razor, excellent job, am very happy with it.

Very nice shave with it

A big shout out to Jay Delta Echo Razors for his superb work on my Gillette New LC! This is the bronze coating.

 

Love it. That is such an 'upgrade' in that it's both subtle and classy.
He does great work.

Funny thing is I read on TSR how users perceive the coating on the head actually improves the shave and I'd be really curious to hear your thoughts once you get a chance to try out that beaut.

 

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, Jay does great work, and he is a true gentleman. The photos don't show it, but the finish looks almost perfect. I had a hard time deciding on the color, but I think it the bronze gives it a cool vintage look. I also considered black, and maybe I'll try that on another New LC at some point.

I shaved with it for the first time tonight since it has been recoated. I'm still getting to know the razor, but so far it has provided the best two-pass shave of any DE or SE razor I have ever used. It performs better for me than my Mongoose loaded with a Feather Super Pro blade, and that's saying a lot. Give me a shave or two, and I'll let you know what I think about the effect of the coating on the head. It certainly has a slicker feel than the original gold plating. Thanks again for the kind words. Coming from a razor aficionado like yourself, that is high praise.
