    Great setup Gary! How does the flat bottom compare to the raised flat bottom?

    thank you Dave.the flat bottom new is an open comb version of the british flat bottom tech.based on the 7 oclock /nacet razor that gillette england purchased.great shave.I find the RFB a little smoother and more efficient.just my opinion of course.:)

    Thanks Gary I tend to agree. Never had the flat bottom tech before although I've had the two piece and three piece raised flat bottom as well as a Nacet razor before. I should never have gotten rid of the three-piece raised flat bottom but we all make mistakes......

    love my 2 piece brit new rfb's.i do like the 3 piece versions a little better as the later ones are nickel plated and not silver plated.a little less maintenance..:)

    Plus if you didn't care for the light handle you could change it out if you have thethree-piece

    my newest custom.just a cosmetic upgrade 1969 brit tech.mid 60s french cap with engraved logo and early 60s brit handle-brass/nickel plate 1/4 inch shorter than the 1969 handle.there is no difference in shave quality albeit the slightly shorter handle.the french cap razor had an aluminum handle.

    the cool part is i had all these laying around and these later techs ae all interchangeable..i'll now pic out a cool case and use this in rotation..more fun than being a purist..:D

    Used my 1951 tech for the first time and also the first time I did a 3 pass shave since I started using a DE razor almost 4 weeks ago. Very very nice indeed! Only one "Japanese Flag" above my lip. :happy036:
