I have two, since they're always used in tandem. I don't shave every day, but when I do, I use my Gillette OC ball end, followed by a Tech for cleanup/fine tuning.
Hard to beat a tech for great shaves. And for me they’re like Lay’s potato chips. You can’t have just oneI’d have to go with a Canadian PreWar Tech followed by any other type of Tech.
FYI it is called a Hybrid Tech. RFB is reserved, generally, for the open comb version, the RFB New.I haven't tried any brit made techs. I would like to try a RFB. The pricing I have seen for a RFB puts you in a market of other equally desirable razors. The pricing I have seen is 4 x more than your garden variety tech. Plus its a tech will it shave that much different (better) than the other techs.
Thanks for the clarification. I think I meant the flat bottom. Still much more than your run of the mill tech. I researched these and moved on. I am happy with my Canadian made tech for now. Stay away RAD!FYI it is called a Hybrid Tech. RFB is reserved, generally, for the open comb version, the RFB New.
And the Hybrid Tech is not the only British Tech. Others have mentioned the flat-bottom Tech, which is also a fine shaver.
Oh, and you can't buy a Hybrid Tech for the cost of four regular Techs. More like 25 or 30 or more.
Yes, the RFB is on a whole different level than a Tech… any Tech, except maybe the Hybrid Tech. The RFB is in the NEW family. The commonly used name is Raised Flat Bottom NEW.I haven't tried any brit made techs. I would like to try a RFB.

The Hybrid is a super good razor. There are also standard Brit Techs that more closely resemble the USA Techs in addition to the flat bottoms. All great razors.FYI it is called a Hybrid Tech. RFB is reserved, generally, for the open comb version, the RFB New.

I’ve found flat bottom techs at the flea market for $10. You can get some nice cased ones on the bay for $40 or $50.Thanks for the clarification. I think I meant the flat bottom.
