    Easy shave. Because I have developed the muscle memory of using a 102 or ABC, I felt compelled to press a bit with the Tech to get the closer shave. The weight of the ABC handles are what make the 102 & ABC shave as well as they do.

    Pictures with the Pre-war Fat Handle Tech is a WWII issue razor that I got at a local estate sale. His kids and grandkids didn’t have any interest in his war era stuff beyond the $$ they warranted. Saddest and most bitter cash spent in a long time. I like to think they wondered why I paid what I did after the fact.

    Razor: Gillette Pre-War Tech Fat Handle(38-45)
    Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
    Brush: Rubberset 200-4 Timberwolf Grey
    Pre-Shave: Georgetown Pottery G12 Scuttle
    Lather: PdP No. 63 Puck
    Aftershave: Pre de Provence No. 63 Balm
    Additional Care:
    Giorgio Armani Myrrhe Impériale
