awesome aristocrat shave and pics Jim..

 

awesome tech shave Ed,is that a brit made one? ,late 50s.early 60s ..

 

That is a Brit made one. Late 50s early 60’s thanks Gary! I was trying to figure it out. It has Gillette on the cap but a plain one not like the gold US one which has the Gillette with the arrows.

 

very cool i have one but the gillette logo is quit worn,for the canadian market early 60s..

 

Thanks Gary

 

It's not ever dawned on me to write down what these razors are. I've always expected "brit" to help me out.

 

..i put you on to them,it's the least i can do..

 

Lovely French Tech shave & pic Gary. I really like the embossed logo

 

thank you Mike.supposed to be quite rare.still uses the post war base plate and has a modded center bar on the cap.the later caps only had corner tabs..

 

It's fun to use them and to buy them.

 

Silver Blue Day I see! Nice.

Nice!
Again, great shaves everybody. Loving looking at the awesomeness from all of you.

 

I decided to shave with my first vintage purchase, many razors ago I started my love affair with vintage Gillettes with one delightful razor, the Prewar Fat Handle Tech. It delivered a superb shave this evening!

awesome tech shave and pic David..

 

Thank you, Gary. It was nice going back to the Tech. It's what started me in this wonderful world of vintage razors. And it still shaves great! It's one of the least expensive razors in my den & shaves superbly. Not as efficient as others, but it certainly is smooth.
