Today I used my 1911 Gillette/ABC shell pattern, old school good!

 

very cool .please post a pic if you have one..welcome..

 

Just a reminder why I like these razors. I shaved it with an almost done blade and still banged out a shave as good as more aggressive razors without all the blood and drama. This razor really does punch well above it's weight class.

Maiden voyage, first time I've used a British 3pc Tech.

 

If there is any difference between a British post war tech and American post war tech sharing the same base plate style I couldn't tell the difference if there was.

 

no shave difference between any of the post war techs from my experience as well..prewar,flat bottom, canadian prewar , yes..

 

25/02/19 --flat bottom tech..

 

Just used my gold fat handle tech for the first time today. Not a bad shave. Smooth.

The Tech isn't a bad razor. I prefer to use a Feather in my prewar. I am not fond of the postwar techs.

F4 Slim adjustable for today's shave. I may just like it more than the Fatboy.

 

41 Aristocrat for today.


Black metal tip super speed for tomorrow.

 

The 41 Crat by far is the closest shave I've gotten with a razor this month using a blade I am not familiar with which is the Astra Platinum. It either doesn't shave like a 46 - 48 Crat or this blade is throwing me for a loop here. It is not that smooth like the 46 - 48 Crat feel wise, it is more like a Ranger Tech or Regent but it shaves much better overall. I need to revisit this razor with a Bic blade and the other Crat along with a few other razors. The other option is to put an Astra in the 46 - 48 Crat but I am just not getting along well with these blades, I don't know if it is the weather or what, but since I switched over to try out the Astras I've haven't bled and cut myself this much since when I first started DE shaving.
