I've found the heavier Tech's work really well with quality blades. My vote for the best newbie razor on the planet. The glamour factor is missing but the capability of this blue collar razor is unquestioned in my opinion.
Tried the Tech with a Feather blade. Very, very nice. Smooth, close shave again with no irritation or nicks. Within a couple of whiskers of being bbs on 2 passes. Amazing! Just what a Tech razor needs, really quality blades.
