I also have 2 one stripped one not. I switched the end pieces and now they both tighten down, give it a try maybe it will work for you too. I like my my thick cap ball end too, but find the thins to be slightly better, the Single Rings are even better. I think the Single Ring has a better balance than the Ball End.

Thanks Troy! I'm thinking that the antique stores in your neck of the woods are incredible! God Bless! Tony Brown RN mgbbrown
All great scores, Gents. Love the ROTBART and the Goodwill!
Yea, they usually treat me pretty well, I even left a few $7 Super Speeds behind for the next guy.
Thanks. Have wanted one of these for quite some time.Nice #164!
Those line up better than the #162.
One of my recent acquisitions is a non usual Gillette OT Copley set, brown case, from the 1920s.
Curiously enough, the razor carries a manufactured shim. It makes the razor gap... scary!
As usual, excuse the poor pics. Also, it needs a clean up.
Cheers, gents!

That shim is pretty scary looking. It looks like it would create a pretty wide gap for an aggressive shave. As if the Old Types needed to be more aggressive as it is.
You bet!

That first pic makes my face hurt just looking at it!
I've got a Razorock Teck II, and I like it quite a bit. Wanting something vintage, I've been looking for an old Tech for a bit. Not sure exactly which one to go for, just figuring the right one would find me. Well it seems like there was a lot of chatter about the fat handled techs last week, and one thing let to another...
First shave with it last night. Smooth. She's a keeper!

Very Nice! I really like Jay's work, and I love that my vintage razors are personalized!
Wow, that looks fantastic!
You bet!

That's for those husky Austrian girls!
Man-up and shave with it!

Thanks! I used a Dorco Prime on shave 4. The shape of Techs just seem to be perfect for my neck, I like them. And from reading on B&B, a lot of guys say you need to hit the sweet spot on the angle to get the most of these, and I must be lucky, 'cause it seems like I intuitively hit that correct angle.
I do love it, this will be a keeper!Triangle slot! You got the best one ever made! You'll love it!!!

I knew to look for the triangle slot, thanks to this place! I've used a few different Techs, and knew that I like them overall. This one that I got came with another fat-handle, but straight-slot, that was in rougher condition.
Thanks. I like my Canadian triangle slot Tech. Efficient and smooth. I pair it with a Feather. Well, I think I use Feathers in every razor...
Love those! A Delta Echo will definiely be in my future. What color scheme are they? Those are two of the nicest I've seen.
