Another new to me razor.....yeah, a Tech. Heh, well I kept reading about all the people getting great shaves with em and.......there you go. I found a nice boxed silver one last week, and today was the day.

I loved this thing! Seriously, this was pretty fun. I'm gonna use it tomorrow and get a better feel for the nuances, but I already know it agrees with my face.

BBS results,
Martin

IK soap
L3 flare tip w/Gillette blade

Not a bad brush for 8 bucks. Very stiff with soft tips. It worked very well with the hard lathering IK.

TGIF: Unknown 3 piece razor / ASCO Orange blade d1 / C.O.Bigelow SC / Omega 10065 brush / T&H West Indies Lime Cologne

Wish I knew who made this razor, it's amazing! Easy to hold and use, in conjunction with the Asco blade, I got a easy 2 pass BBS this morning. Great Shave!

 

Got pictures? I'm sure someone would be able to identify the razor.

 

Yup, posted all ready in Safety Razor section. But, alas, no help as yet.
