I was gifted a Rimei Tech clone a while ago. I find this clone much more aggressive than my original Tech's.
And it's not as smooth either.
But it does a good job

That‘s what single sticks of Arko are for. Plus, you get more Arko
I'd rather throw in something thats a good value. Like a soap or razor thats on sale.
I hear you man. Its all in good fun anyways. When I do business with IB and need to throw something in my cart to get up to the shipping minimum, I usually grab whatever Razorock soap tub is on sale. For example, I placed an order the other day, and Amici was on sale for $2.99 a tub. That is good stuff, but for $2.99 a tub i will buy a couple and give them away. My prior order they had Zi Peppino and Don Marco for $3.99 a tub. Those two soaps are near the top of my list. I love them. Especially the scent. So I really loaded up on that order. Mind you i have nothing against Arko, and use it religiously when I travel, which was a lot until the world shut down.Your math checks out. I‘d be remiss if I didn’t mention that even relatively overpriced Arko is also like a soap.
I have several DE1 (same head). Not crappy razors, just not as good as my genuine 1940s - 1950s Techs.I have a couple of the RR Tek II razors. They were free with an order at one point. And they are sometimes around $5 on sale a IB, so they are good to toss in the cart to get up to the free shipping. They make excellent razors to PIF to new shavers. I find them ever so slightly more aggressive than a standard USA Tech. And the ends of the blade tabs are covered, which is a plus. Although I own dozens of real Techs, I find this clone to be quite good.
The DE-1 is close to average length, that would be 85mm - 90mm. Most Razorock handles used with the Gamechanger, for example, are in this range.I'm interested to buy Tech-like razors.
One of those is RazoRock DE1 = Baili BT171
The other is RazoRock Tech II = Baili BD191
Which is better?I think latter is good,but I wonder if the handle is too slippery.
Former looks like a little bit too short handle,isn't it?
Which should I buy?
The Original Tech wonSooooooooooooo...
Who won the Clone Wars?

The Original Tech won
I have two original Techs, both British.Yup....in my opinion, the genuine Gillette Techs (especially the Pre-war and Post-war Fat Handle and 1950s Techs) defeated the clones.
I have two original Techs, both British.
One is a Fat Handle and the other is a Aluminum Ball End.
The Fat Handle is a tad more aggressive/efficient but the Ball End feels a little bit smoother.
My clones from Rimei, Lord and Yuma are not as good but they will get the job done.
Lord L5 is a very nice Tech-cloneLord L5 !!!
