40's NDC Super Speed or the Red Tip Super Speed.

Especially a Pre-War Fat-handle Tech.
I like the head, and I wish I could get repro Fat handles for other razors I have.
As you already have TTO's, I'd suggest going for one of the various 3 piece razors. If not a Gillette, Star had some good ones. You might even try posting a WTB in the Marketplace, especially if you aren't really picky.

For tech's, that would be something like the 1932 Canadian tech. It's slightly more aggressive than the other techs, but nowhere like a FaTip.
What setting do you use on the razors you have? What do you like and dislike about them?
Good choices.
All the above. You can never have too many vintage Gillettes.

I currently use a setting 4 WTG and just started a 4 XTG
Tech fat handle or New fat handle.........
Gillette NEW Long Comb from the 1930's. They are commonly available at modest prices.
I have a 1948 Gillette Aristocrat. Unbeatable razor
I use it almost every day. It's my fav.
It may be a little pricey if it's near mint. Mine was near mint for $70 and worth every penny.

30s New LC are awesome machines. Used mine tonight. Perfect shave.
Ditto on the Long Comb NEWs. They are mild shavers and they are so much easier to maintain than one-piece razors.
I have 2 suggestions. One get the NEW if you like aggressive razors, and a tech to use with super sharp blades.
Old Types are the prettiest, but a little unforgiving. You can't go wrong shaving with a NEW or a fat handled tech.
