Well it arrived and look forward to breaking it in tomorrow. Its a brushed stainless (since I am in the Navy I will call it haze gray) prewar tech. I will also say as good as the photos are on the website, they still do not do it justice. Definitely worthwhile if you are interested in purchasing a refurb.
Seems like the first time I have ever described a razor (or anything else that doesn't float) as haze gray and under way. Keep it up, sailor! Remember, sailors belong on ships and ships belong underway. One of the things I really miss about my 12 years in the Navy are the cruises. If in 20 years you don't look back at that time fondly, you're doing it wrong!
I have used the razor a couple of times now and while the tech is obviously mild it shaves as advertised however, the ease of rinsing/cleaning the razor is nothing short of outstanding. The coating is slick and nothing sticks to it.
Concur, this and my Pil's by far the easiest I've come across to clean. I have the steam punk finish and what a difference the clearcoat makes on the finish.
Thanks to the very bad influence of friend ChiefShaver here, who recently shared a pic of his Steampunk fat handle Tech, I decided to order myself a Fatboy, my all-time favourite adjustable, also in Steampunk. I absolutely love that deep copper colour plus the accents of the black and brass... Can't wait for it to arrive and to share my first shave with it here in the Den.
Just received my 1964 (J4) slim adjustable today and just had my first shave with it. Beautiful razor, excellent job, am very happy with it. Very nice shave with it Graeme
Love it. That is such an 'upgrade' in that it's both subtle and classy. He does great work. Funny thing is I read on TSR how users perceive the coating on the head actually improves the shave and I'd be really curious to hear your thoughts once you get a chance to try out that beaut.
Hi all, Great tread. I just discovered Delta Echo and Love there stuff. e-mailed Jay and want to get a Fatboy out to him in a few weeks. Great pic's guys Enjoy those Razors. Anthony
Jay...do you accept custom color requests? if so, please post a link for the color chart. Also, what's the upcharge for picking a color or combo of that you don't have in stock? Thanks in advance.
Jay hasn't been around in almost a year. Best to contact him through his site. http://www.deltaechorazors.com
This is a razor Delta Echo did for me. A Gillette short comb head on a Scotch & Stowe handle, Bronze and Pale Gold. Before and after pics......
Most likely from when the site was hacked. Happened to many people's pics on here. Here are the pics.......
