Lord Razor?

Yes i had one,
it's pretty much a tech clone.
It shaves pretty much like a tech also.
But the finish of the razor is very cheap.

yep got one works pretty good for me being somewhat new(little over a month) to DE shaving. Finish looks like cheap aluminum not bad though I'm not sure what it would look like w/o the finish though if it ever washes off with age?

It just works, nothing special. But imagine if it were common for drugstores and groceries to have a few of these in their shaving sections along with the generic DE blades. Could persuade more people to try DE shaving, or at least make them aware that it's an option.

That can often be the case with inexpensive TTOs. The Lord Tech holds the blade very tightly, though.

Lord doesn't make any TTO's and what you bought is a cheap chinese razor that popped up in this forum several times. Check this thread on B&B. My best advice to you is to check manufacturer's websites before you believe something to be true.
Sorry mate but what you bought can best be tossed away. It is sold under different brands and not worth buying.

To coughdrop: This razor is probably close to or the same as the LP1822 old style. Not bad for the money at all but the razor you want is the new LP1822 with a casted head close to the one on the Merkur classics. When you are in the US it is pricey to get since nobody carries it yet. The alternative is this Lord Smart with the same head but with a plastic handle. Not as nice but guaranteed $12 well spend!

Lord would not put their name on such a total piece of crap as that. They make some very good quality razors.

As for the L122 mentioned by the O.P. I have owned one. It's pretty much an exact clone of the late model 1970's Tech. It shaves very well, and is built fairly well too.

You can buy one here:

http://www.shoeboxshaveshop.com/lord-tech.html

You can also buy the "Lord Smart" (with the Merkur like head) from that vendor, and the Lord Smart is probably the better razor.

Reviews of the Lord Tech (with the Tech like head) can be found here:

I don't agree that the Lord L122 shaves like a Tech. I have it and I also have Techs from the early 50s and even late 70s. The L122 is more aggressive. It is even more aggressive than the Feather portable.

Blimey you guys are mixing up the model numbers with the packaging numbers.

Lord are a very good manufacturer of razors and blades sold under many brand names throughout the world, they are big. For many years they had a joint venture with Wilkinson Sword, which is where their technology and management expertise come from.
This is a bit like Gillette having a joint venture factory in St Petersberg, Russia, that makes 8 different brands of DE blades.

On their website Lord have two pages of DE razors, you can see them here: http://www.razorslord.com/Categories/SaftyRazors.asp

There are two all metal models.The L5 "Razor Metallic" This is a Tech clone with an aluminium handle (as many Techs had) however it does not shave like a Tech, it is much better. The L5 razor is sold in L122 packaging.

The second model is the "Premium" L6. This is another Tech razor but it has a completely different head. On this the guard bar is scalloped like on an Edwin Jagger or a Merkur. This is the model that gets great praise in the review section here. It comes in the L1822 packaging.

These are probably the best low cost razors you can buy. They are the equal or better than razors costing many times more.
