April 2022 30 Day Rule/Focus and Discussion. All Are Welcome!

cool razors,love the brit aristocrat replica in the middle..

 

my grandad had the white handled one in the late 70s..

 

monday
#77 brit fb tech
platinum
wcs lantern silvertip
proraso wood and spice



good day gents
continuing with the proraso/tech adventure..
the wood/spice single edge line is their best imo,
in slickness and lather quality,oh and scent of course..
i missed the proraso red as i seem to be out of the soap/tub.restock in future..
i remember this wood/spice set was hard to find as it sold out quickly.
now it is available in tubes as well.
***
the #77 fb tech is the same razor as the common brit ,but was sold in the australian market,
as period ads show.but possibly english markets as well.
fabulous 2 passer in the usual manner.
matching balm and cologne to finish.
awesome
have a great rest of monday everyone.

That Parker is one of my favs. It is also nice with a Feather. It is a TTO that resembles an old Gillette

 

Yes, that razor gives a VERY nice shave. It is not all that expensive either

 

Great gear, setup and shave Gary. Have a super day.

 

best of both worlds..great shave and nice looking, without the expense of an original.

 

awesome shave and pic Danny.

 

I have these two.

 

Fine shave, Gary!

 

yes,the one on the left.very cool.

 

How is the shave compared to lets say a Flare Tip?

 

thank you Joe..kickin back today..

 

That one was my first vintage razor! And it's one of my favorites when paired with a sharp blade. I think I've tried Derbys and Lords in it too, but can't really remember what it was like.

 

thank you Daniel.love these brit techs,my granddad would of had these or rocket type tto's in the early 50s..gillette man though and through..

 

Gillette made some great razors!

 

i will get one eventually,to remember my grandad by,it would have the black handled superspeed/flare tip slim head most likely,or similar.just not into the longer handles.

 

yes sir,they are common fare in england,but pricier here in canader..thankfully the later brit techs and rockets were sold here ..

 

Short handles are perhaps a bit easier to use. The head is very similar to a flare tip.

 

i like the standard length gillettes the most for my technique.i don't use the travel size handles either-too short,unless i use the 2 piece handles of course..
