TECH Tuesday

[89err]

I purchased this today, is anyone able to tell me if this is a Canadian pre War tech?

Cleaned up the razor today and used it for the first time. Pretty good results

Looks good! I really like the way the triangle slot Techs shave.

Today's Tech Tuesday shave:
Post-war NDC Tech, nickel plated ball end
Feather blade (2)
Williams Mug Soap
Opal F 200 brush with TGN 22 mm Super Silvertip knot (bulb)
Lucido aftershave & 444 aftershave gel

Yes it is! Good score. I made the mistake of abandoning my wonderful techs; the best DE razors I've ever used after succumbing to RAD; and eventually wound up going to the dreaded safety razor. Ugh what a mistake! Supposedly the canadian prewar shaves the best accordeing to many but I find no difference between it and my American triangular slot prewar and my ball handle oblong postwar. Pared with a good blade they all give me BBS in two passes no irritation. No more razor buying for me.

Tech Tuesday!

Its been a while since I've used the triangle-slot tech so I brought it out today. Transfered a Nacet for its second shave. The rest of the equipment is my usual, Cella soap face lathered with a Stirling 26mm synthetic brush. Finished with an alum block and Clubman. Nice shave!

For me, everyday is Tech Tuesday.

Well seeing that today is Tuesday! Used my Canadian fat handle tech and performed a head shave. As always, smooth!

My first vintage DE razor purchase is a ball end tech and it will always be special to me.

I've been shaving with my pre-war Tech since the beginning of the month. Getting great shaves, of course! Today was no exception.

 

[Saxonbowman]

Another Tuesday and another Tech. Been using the NDC ball-end version all week so reporting in as its Tuesday!

I can't explain why I haven't used this amazing pre-war Tech for over 4 years...

I was going to pull the trigger on a bunch of new fancy razors... now I am not that sure...

Used a Canadian pre-war fat handle today. Nice and smooth

I used my post-war NDC nickel Tech again today, without even realizing it was Tech Tuesday. I used some TOBS Natural shave cream whipped up with a Semogue SOC brush in Cherry. Perma Sharp blade somewhere north of its tenth shave. An easy and comfortable shave!

Tech Tuesday!

I've been using this Ball-end Tech since Friday with a Personna Blue. A great combination that produces superb shaves!

Lol, I've been doing "Tech Tuesday" for almost a year and a half -- pre-war Tech with a Gillette Rubie every Tuesday since the beginning of December 2016.

Lovely shaves.

 

[Saxonbowman]

I left a blade in my NDC ball-end Tech last time I used it, so I decided to bring it out for another go today. Turns out that Personna Blue was on its tenth shave! The shave blew me away; so close and so comfortable!

 

[psfred]

I shave with a pre-war Tech every Tuesday -- so far the current blade, a Gillette Rubie, has lasted 74 shaves. Still has a few more in it, too! Techs give a great shave every time.

Necromancy

Job lot techs!

Three 4 piece.
English thin handle
Nacet open comb

Probably the most notable.

Have not shaved with a tech yet.

 

[Saxonbowman]

Nice collection! Some interesting pieces in there including the rare open comb variety. Enjoy your shaves!

Just received my first tech today, a fat handle tech. My first shave with at & I am stunned! Wonderfully smooth and efficient! I’m proud to call my cell phone number of the TECH brotherhood.
