Newbie DE purchase.

[MrLastway]

Well I bought this razor on the fly while looking for more straights for about a week ago. And from what I with no knowledge whatsoever about DE's I'd say its a Gillette tech but I'd like to know more.

And I don't have a picture of that but under the handle is the Gillette logo on the left and "made in England" on the right.

That means NO letter OR serial number.




Still excited over owning a DE

Nice looking Tech! Fantastic shaver

Brought out the Compact to get a few pictures of the inside and in pieces.

Not as good as the Canon but still something

Nice purchase!

Nice purchase!

$2.50 plus shipping

That means NO letter OR serial number.

Could anyone point me towards a Tech identification chart or something like it. I tried to search but ended up empty handed.

Had my first run with it today with a feather blade since my local shaving store only had feathers for $8 or Gillette blades for $16 per pack of 10. Lets just say its sharper than my straight but I don't seem to get as close since I have a hard time manipulating the blade to do what I want. And after playing with the angle a little too much I managed to get some razor burn on my cheek.
