hello folks which is your favorite tech razor? here s a few of mine.the british flat bottom just gave me the tech shave to date. thank you all,gary left to right-canadian triangular slot.brit flat bottom 4 piece,british fifties non frosted cap,all brass/nickel. 1953 canadian military set
I like my Canadian triangle slot techs, but I can get a decent shave out of any of them. No real 'favourites'.
Huge fan of the Pre-War Tech. At this point, the only real variance comes from the handle. Light or Heavy Long or Short Thick or Thin I do favor a heavy, nickel plated Pre-War Tech. I also hold the razor close to the head, so length is the least important factor.
I have a handful of techs here and I think my favorite is the USA made Triangle slot version but that is probably more due to sentimental reasons (a gift from my father shortly before he passed). I don't notice much difference between the variants. They all benefit from a heavier handle.
Well, her is the current family Tech photo ... There is an English (mid to late 40's), a pre war 1932 Canadian fat handle, a pre war 1932 Canadian 4 piece, a post war 1932 Canadian fat handle and a unmarked FrankenTech with a Durham Duplex handle. By the way I really like Techs!
the made in england and gillette logo are below the pins on your razor mine are above the pins. is your s a service set?
My own English Flat-Bottom: I got it surprisingly cheap on eBay as it was billed as Star razor; It actually came in a Bakelite Star case with a wrapped pack of Gillette Blue Blades. Was there some kind of wartime agreement between Gillette and ASR that might have legitimately produced such a combo? (My English Flat Bottom New also came in a Star case.) The handle appears to be a somewhat unusual version as I've only seen pictures of one other with that particular knurling and rings. As for my other Techs: 2x US Pre-War (both Nickel) US Contract Tech with 'S' baseplate US Bakelite Tech 3x Post-War NDC Techs (2 Gold, 1 Nickel) English Post-War Aluminium Tech L4 US Tech Chinese Gillette Super Blue Blade razor (a.k.a., Sterling Tech) So far, I don't have any Canadian ones. My favorite is probably the English Flat-Bottom, if only for its relative uniqueness. The only one I genuinely don't like is the English Aluminium one; there is a definite difference in head geometry which I can't (or don't have the patience to) get the hang of.
I have three 1932 Canadian Tech; mainly due to the model number (1932) reminds me of my fathers birth. I really enjoy the pre war Canadians, but funny thing is that I haven't tried my English Tech yet and I've own about nine months.
I imagine that it has been. One thing that frustrates me is wondering what sort of case the four-piece Techs came with. Mr. Razor's site only shows one or two examples.
Hi all, what is my favorite Tech? I can't decide...... Although, I think the Canadian Military Tech set comes pretty close to being my favorite. But I really do enjoy them all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
