    Hmm. I better go look at my Tech again. Are these all aluminium handles?

    Gillette New Improved (1921)
    Gillette Silver Blue SS Blade
    CWS
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Pharaoh's Dreamsicle AS

    The Pharaoh's Dreamsicle Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #437 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette New Improved and a Gillette Silver Blue SS Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and Pharaoh's Dreamsicle AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    @Stefano73.
    Hmm, my Tech cap looks the like one on the left of the last picture, and the one on the right of the first picture. But feels heavier than the rest of the razor. Beginning to wonder if it is from a different razor.
