I just shaved with a Tech last night.
I tried the Tech when I started out with DE shaving.
It didn't give me as good a shave as the open comb razors I was trying out at the same time.
Even tried a SS from the 40's.
And it couldn't compete with the open combs.
Then my wife came home from a Salvation Army store with a Red Tip.
I was amazed at how good the Red tip shaved--BBS!
It was every bit as good as any open comb.
Well ,last night I tried the Tech again just for something different,
Well,,,,I got a great shave that was BBS!
Same blades as before ,but maybe better technique after gaining some experience since last time I tried the Tech.
So I was thinking,------Is there ANY Gillette razor that isn't capable of producing a BBS shave?
Or is (operator error )the only limiting factor keeping one from a great shave with a Gillette?
