Last shave for this week and last shave with my Vintage English Gillette Four Piece Tech. Now I have got to pick something for the next seven shaves.
This week’s Tech is my beloved USA made Gillette NDC Gold Ball End Tech.
I have three Techs, one Prewar and two early Postwars. My favorite razor is my nearly pristine early postwar silver ball handled Tech. I shave with it nearly every day. It consistently gives me a good shavd that can’t be matched by any other razor I own.
Second shave for this week with my lovely Gillette NDC Gold Ball End Tech.
Hoffritz
My Flat Bottom Tech cleared customs and is enroute. I think I'll see it Saturday or Monday.. I'm anxious to give it a try to see what I've learned since I last used one in August of 2022.
Shave number three for this week and third shave on my lovely Gillette NDC Gold Ball End Tech.
1954 (Sorry guys mistake on the Hoffritz)
My Flat Bottom Tech is out for delivery.... Yay...........
Not sure there is Grail Tech, but Tech’s with right blade Candi good shave.

@Jim in NZ - remove the knot, find a knot of your liking and lather away. There are some fantastic knots around.
Nice find on the Techs! Looks like the full brass and aluminium versions.

Thank you, Guido. Glad I found this wonderful thread.
The humble Gillette Tech is capable of outstanding performance.
My personal Top 5 Tech rankings remain the same:
1. England Tech/NEW Hybrid
2. Canada Pre-War
3. (tie) German #34
3. (tie) England Flat Bottom
3. (tie) Canada Post-War
The USA Pre-War, USA Post-War, England #24 and USA 1966 (L1) are also excellent Techs.
