Got my first Tech today. They said it was a prewar but I really dont know. I know it's pretty. Using it tonight.

I saw one on ebay last year. It sold for $60. Aside from that I am not familiar with these razors.

Hmm the only reference I find is the sale to me (for $60).

I’m not a Tech expert but my understanding is that triangular slots = Pre-war.

Finally, my birth NOS Gillette Slim Adjustable K3 arrived and did not disappoint!

Online auction haul from a few weeks ago that I'm just getting around to posting. Had hoped to post a proper before/after all at once, but haven't gotten around to the cleaning yet. Have been looking for a user grade president at the right price for some time, and finally found something. We'll see how they all clean up....certainly some projects.

A fine Tech like that - if you never had another razor you would still be well off - great shaves, no hazzle

Mail Call, Friday 22nd February. A G3 Fatboy, a T3 Black Beauty and a W1 Slim Twist. The Fatboy is stuck on setting 1. I’m hoping that a few baths in dishwashing detergent will free it up. All came off the bay in the one auction here in Australia.

Hmm the only reference I find is the sale to me (for $60).

The listing I saw was March 2018. It seems that you have something rare and it is an interesting set with a small leather wrapped block of wood.

Hello,

although some id it as German, I opt for Italy. The cap/comb looks very similar to Metropolis/Corona/Super Neon razors.

Looks like a great day to me! That's a pretty rare find and in great condition.

Most of the flea markets around here have a donation jar for the local animal shelter, if I don't put at least a 5 in it my wife gets mad at me, and if I don't keep her happy she might not let me go anymore lol. One time I dropped it in when she wasn't looking and she made me do again.

Thanks, Mike!

Happy wife, happy life, right????
