wednesday tech focus #8
1945 ? canadian steel head war tech
derby premium
canadian rubberset boar
erasmic soap
clubman special reserve

good morning gents,up today is the canadian war/service tech.quite rare and this one has seen little to no use.it has a steel cap and baseplate(magnetic) due to brass shortages and the brit plastic/bakelite handle.a story i read somewhere-made for the brit/french market but never made it there.sold in canada late wartime and shortly after.a magazine /newspaper add shows them for sale in canada shortly after the war was over.could be errors but more research needed.
loaded the war horse with the derby premium.loving these blades presently,loaded the canadian rubberset with erasmic soap from the 40's bakelite stag container.the containers were from rexall drugs- (more research needed).fantastic near bbs in 2+ passes.clubman special reserve decanted into a 40s/50s bottle of unknown origin. awesome.i am getting closer to having a 40s/50s shave set.if anyone knows any info on these containers please let me know.have a fabulous day everyone..

 

Looking Good Gary!

 

thank you Steve..

good morning gents, in honor of Joseph's @Primotenore new #44 shave i brought out mine.these are the standard issue brit flat bottom techs with the upscale case-in comparison to the red/white or blue/white plastic ones.awesome heavily plated,well built,efficient and simple shavers made to deliver the goods for a long time.
loaded the derby,lathered the jeeves and got a fine near bbs for the effort..nothing more needed.
jeeves aftershave to finish..awesome..have a fine day everyone..

 

Well what the hell? You know you're old and confused when you forget which forums you've been following. Well I'll be damned.
