    Thanks Gary! For me..this is actually a really great shaver. I have only used it probably 6 or 7 times in total, but have always been impressed with the results & how smooth a shaver it is. Although it looks large & unwieldy, I find it to be surprisingly agile. It handles ATG below my chin with a comfort many of my razors cannot match. There doesn't seem to be much love for the Techmatic in the shave community, but it works for me & I'm glad I gave one a try.
    Plus..it's the razor used on the Apollo 11 Moon Mission..how freakin' cool is that man! :)

    very cool,the biggest problem today is no more blade cartridges i think..de and injector still ruled the roost back then as well.you can probably find cartridges on ebay..

    You are quite correct & prices on eBay are usually a bit steep. I have a small lot acquired by waiting for a good deal to show up every once in a while.

    Happy Easter Gary! A Gillette Spoiler sounds like an excellent choice for today as I just received a few recently. Thanks for reminding me of that..:)
