Greetings,

Early morning shave...

Ive recently been having some phenomenal shaves with my humble vintage gillette tech's ,has it's been a while since i last used my vintage flat bottom tech i've gave it a long awaited outing What i personally like about the gillette tech is they are such smooth shavers, especially the earlier models, i couldn't pick my favourite, because each and everyone that i have is a joy to shave with.

However,i find the 40's & 50's models slightly more assertive depending on the blade choice i pair them up with.

A great 'all Round' de razor that every traditional wet shaver should try at least once...These classic humble razors have stood the test of time.

The Tabac soap after a few minutes blooming in tepid water created a luxurious lather in a short space of time,wetting the tips of the brush inbetween each pass without having to reload the brush to create more lather.

A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups BBS shave with no errors to report.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling devine.;)

Stay safe & sound, and enjoy your Day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:





Glad you enjoy your Tech razor Bazza.
They are simple no nonsense great little razors! I use mine for most of my shaves. Can’t go wrong with them!

Ice water shave today. Tabac is truly marvelous! Super thick, creamy and slick with unique scent. Face lathering with the brush was very satisfying & created a perfect lather!
Shave with razor and blade combo was good again. Smooth and sharp. 3 multiple passes with no issues again..nice. Rating 9.5/10 between BBS and DFS result.

Trying out the Leaf razor. Very good shave and it feels really comfortable to use. Feels a little bit too much like a cartridge razor for me to enjoy on a regular basis but still, really nice to use and it gave me a BBS shave.
