Just came across this offering on eBay and wondering if anyone can provide additional info on this Tech. Never seen one like this and am thinking this might be a one-off. Thanks! Original posting: http://ebay.to/2vviPSN
May be someone has the legendary red Tech answer but for me it's a Ballend Tech with a bad paint job. Kind of when you were young and thought that spray painting a chrome bumper with silver spray paint was a good idea Enviado desde mi 5010G mediante Tapatalk
The ebay seller had good reviews, decent prices, and quite a few sales. Ask them questions: Is it spray paint, cerakote? Tom @twhite gave a razor the baked on finish. I think Jim @Jayaruh is the new owner. From what I've heard it's a long lasting, smooth way to cover lost plating. Looking at the sellers photos for this razor either the underlying brass is pitted, or the coating was applied over an improperly prepared surface causing fish eye.
I am a Gillette tech collector, and... unfortunately...I have to agree with the others who have posted. It is a 1946-50 ball end tech with a poor paint job. If you are drawn towards interesting techs, try out Delta echo razor works. http://deltaechorazors.bigcartel.com/product/gillette-fat-handle-tech-cubano-editiontm
Looks like a paint job. I considered doing a redskins paint job on a razor I have and was giving to a hard core football fan I know. If the razor has bad plate loss there is really no harm. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
That is correct. I am the lucky new owner. It is an Old Type. He replaced the cracked barrel with carbon fiber.
Agree, the Delta Echo works are dedicated time consuming restorations with quality results. This Tech is just a lazy approach. Enviado desde mi 5010G mediante Tapatalk
Either way, paint or ceracote, it was applied too close or too much pressure on an air brush or spray can.
