I have done one razor for nearly a year. I'm pretty sure you got this.

Take a lid to a tin can and pit it in a vice about 3/4 of it clamped. Take a toothpick and flick the edge of the blade. Note the sound. Scale it down to blade and whisker size and imagine 50 toothpicks flicking and minute vibration that accompanies it. I have decently sensitive hearing due a...

All of my close relatives that I show my razor to didn't get it. Then I let them shave with it. Eash of them now how one. The Tech needs no convincing.

Imagine my luck! I found this thread just now and learned I am already qualified. I started February with my favorite blade BiC Chrome Platinum and I am still using it in my back up Gillette Tech (in my avatar). It will easily last the entire month.

DE shaving is my spa like experience 3x a week. Cold water isn't part of the spa like experience for me in the autumn, winter, spring months. Summer I indulge in a cool water rinse which is refreshing during the hotter season.

Nice ! 👍👍 How thick is the plating would you estimate? Was it thick enough to cause any issues with the threads?

🥶 "I'm freezing up here!" 🥶 ...and happy to the point of almost 😢 because you considered us up here in 🇨🇦 Oh Captain, my Captain...thanks so much for the chance on this generous PIF !

I don't know what WFIF means. Plumber, electrician..makes little difference what he did still quite a change of vocation to a YouTuber who sells shaving supplies. Its been over a year since I have seen his videos seems like a nice guy.

Wilkinson Sword Classic. Comes with 5 blades add some shave gel you have lying around and you are set for a couple of months with the lowest cost outlay besides free.

Wilkinson sword plastic razor - YES Wilkinson sword blades - HECK YES Wifes leg shaving cream (happened to be men's gel) - it was the only thing available to get me started. As you can see getting into DE shaving can be a less than $12 venture. It was a fantastic experience, great gear to learn...

We still have the Wii U....have yet to graduate I guess.

+2 for Tech. ....its actually the only type of razor I own.

I have 2 Techs, the Proraso trinity, Arko and 2 brushes. On this site that is on the minimalist side of being modest.

GeoFatBoy taught me everything I needed to know to attempt my first DE shave after 30+ years of electric shaving only. Respect for the blade was and is always foremost in my mind. His technique is consistent which is key. He is equally as skilled at SE shaving. He was a plumber before he...

Yes, and I meant it and then bought another Tech later as a backup....

:eek2: A CANADIAN PIF ?!? I am speechless...I am without speech. :c7: (so generous...not in)

Ya done good and right Hak.1963.

My RAD was very short lived. I tried a Superspeed, then a Tech...and I was done. I obtained a backup Tech and have been more than happy knowing the search and acquisition is over.

Shave quality, build quality and simplicity in design, history. Luckily Gillette Tech has it all for me.

2 post war Techs, a daily driver and the collector in my avatar picture. No more needed.
