    Thanks. I've become a big fan of the Tech and primarily use a banged up pre-war one. I saw this one for a good price and grabbed it.

    It will take a couple of weeks to get here from Germany.

    So have I, they shave great for mild razors. I have a gold one like yours and a few other techs with ball ends, gold and nickel, and some aluminum handles, but I am also looking for a nickel one. I think they just look better.

    I've used my 1912(?), my gold push button and Micromatic OC. They work fine, but I like the looks of this one.

    The G bar is a nice razor. You're going to love it!

    I think @jimjo1031 has the earlier version based on the knurling on the handle, which I think is better looking one of the G bars. It's a bit of a mild razor, but still gives close shaves. I enjoy mine when it's up in the rotation.

    The ad didn't say, but it looks like an English one from the 40's.

    My Micromatic OC is a bit aggressive, but manageable. And my Pushbutton is mild but shaves great. I was thinking that the G-bar would probably be in the middle.

    Yes, I think you will find the g bar in the middle on aggressiveness.

    Never having tried any B&M products I'm rather excited about this set (shaving soap and A/S splash) of their Latha: Le Petit Chypre
    that I picked up for $20 shipped

    Soaps have just never been top of my priorities. I have a bunch of Fitjar, Wickhams, original Klar Kabinnet and i Coloniali - and they are so good that I don't feel the need to buy much soap. I wanted to try the LPC when it came out (I believe it's a seasonal offering) but missed it so was happy to get this set for what seems like a decent price

    You certainly have winners in that line-up. The latha line performs well, but the scents are subjective. Kinda hit or miss. Hopefully works well for You. If not, there are no shortage of B&M collectors...lol

    Okuda Suita 奥殿…should make for a nice pre-finisher in the jnat progression.
    (Scale of 1-5) Hardness (4.5), Grit Fineness (5), Speed (5), cutting(5+); approx 2-2.25 x 8 x .6" — comparable dimension to my blue escher.
    I'll probably mount it to a plank.
