Techs are all I use. Well done.
Obsession is a way of life on B&B
Keep telling your self that. I will try it on my wife.We are not obsessed, we are just really dedicated.
Not sure about the Gillette old type. The only vintage Gillette’s that I currently have are the techs pictured in the OP and an Otto Roth branded Gillette new LC. The new type seems to be a little more aggressive than the techs to me. Some people say that the prewar techs are slightly more aggressive than the postwar versions but I haven’t noticed any difference between the two. Definitely try a tech thoughHey guy's...random question.how aggressive are techs compared to say a gillette old type? I'm new to the world of vintage gillette's and I'm about to start bidding on a tech and I'm just curious ay.
The Techs are considerably milder than the Old Types, but can deliver a close shave despite that. If you have used a Gillette Slim Adjustable, the pre-war Tech might be around a 4. I think the post-war Techs are a bit milder, though not everyone agrees on that.Hey guy's...random question.how aggressive are techs compared to say a gillette old type?

Well I guess I couldn’t help myself. Just received another tech. Dated 3rd quarter of 1956 along with a travel case set. Only paid $25 plus shipping. The razor is probably the best quality of all the techs in my collection
Yeah it is. Date code is B 3 which is in the 1956 date code series from what I’ve found onlineBeautiful Tech Set!
Looks like one of the 'Heavy' (63g) mid-1950s Techs?

Thanks. My sentimental favorite tech is a 1954 Z3 because it’s my first vintage razor but the one that gets the most use is the contract techOutstanding Tech and in my group of favorite Techs.
