No, sir. It's the famous and elusive hybrid ABC Tech....

J/k!

Totally skipped that part. If it's rare, I have a few...

Hello,

it's an ABC handle, this type usually came in a plain or shell case.

Awesome! I see now that it's handle #5 - The Shell with two rings in gold.

Thanks!!

that injector has one of the coolest patterns on the handle I've seen! Great scores!

Thanks! That handle makes me think there was some old Bakelite left in the cooker from the previous batch, that got a little extra toasty!

 

[tipster_621]

Pretty good indeed! Congrats!

Thanks!

I just got this fat handle Tech for $10 this morning. Cleaned up incredibly well.

Very nice. The Techs look best when they're on the fat handles.

Wow! A real bargain!
Was this Tech produced in the 30's?

The beast.... I LOVE me some aggressive razors. Somehow, I've never got around to buying one of these. We'll see how we get along in the morning!

You say "aggressive". Is this the same head like the Mühle R41 on this rose gold handle from Mühle?

My Rockwell 6s arrived today at the same time my B&M reserve samples did. I'll post my first impressions elsewhere with pictures, after I get my shave on

In many places the Rockwell 6s is sold out. Lucky you have yours. Best to get it directly from Rockwell now.
I guess they are busy with their new T model...

My two recent acquisitions that got me thrown out of the 2018 Sabbatical and accepted into the CEC. The first is just a British Old Type head and my birth year/quarter H3 razor, 1962 slim adjustable. Nice shaver.

Yeah it's a Muhle R41 with a rose gold handle. They make them in chrome, rose gold, and acrylic. I liked the look of the rose gold the best.

Nice score! It's good to have a Birth year/ quarter razor.

Thanks. I agree about the birth year. And that is my second one. They are both in similar condition. I haven’t used the new one yet but it will see action soon.
