Canadian Tech, eh.

[Snidely]

I just came into two Canadian-made fat handle techs. Both in very nice shape. The bottom plates on both say "Pat.Canada", "1932", "Made in Canada" and have the Gillette logo. There are no date codes. I understand that these razors were manufactured between 1938 and 1946. They appear to be nickel over copper. I intend to shave with one of them and PIF the other to a fellow Canuck. Only condition--shave with it and keep it if it suits you or re-PIF it if it doesn't, but don't sell it. Just post, "I'm in, eh." I'll pick a winner at random in a few days.

Just had a shave with one of these razors. Very sweet shaver--a close, comfortable shave. I'll clean up the other one for the PIF later tonight.

nice PIF Snidley. I have a Canadian Tech (Or think I do), and the Tech is a great little razor.

Congrats to Normdugas and kudos to Snidley for a PIF for us Canadians.

Enjoy the razor and be sure to let us know how it goes.

Congrats. I use my '51 Canadian tech and my 1922 Canadian Old Type all the time. I switch them up every other day.

Yay me

Thank you so much. I'll be sure to let everyone know how it goes.

This has inspired me. I think I'll go through my "den" in the next little while, to see what I can PIF.

My Canadian tech is currently my go to razor.

I received a package from John (Snidely) today. I've not had time to open it and marvel. Have been busy with the rug rats. Just wanted to let you all know. I will open it tomorrow morning and get some pictures to share. I'd go do it now but my 2 year old thinks that if I get up, he gets to go to the kitchen with me.

Cool! Post some pics!

I'm actually thinking of buying another '51 Tech, a Canadian made fat handle tech. My neighbour has one and wants 20 dollars for it. It's in great shape other than a little soap scum. I love anything Canadian Made.. I think I might buy it!

Better late than never... Had to play Mr. Mom today. My wife went back to work and today was her first day. That left me with a 10 month old girl and a 2 and a half month old boy to watch leaving me little time for anything. I did get around to the razor. It was clean but I gave it the once over with scrubbing bubbles. After drying it, I popped in a new Astra SP. It looks great. And the shave is even better. Thanks so much for the PIF, Snidely.

Nice photos, they really do it justice. So glad it arrived in good shape. Enjoy.
