All of the discussions regarding Techs got me jonesing.

Tell me about it. I only have one since two days and my number one search key here and everywhere is Tech, Tech, Tech. As if I entered a new dimension or something.

And thanks again for your guidance and experience. You deserve to be nominated for Ambassador.

I second the nomination and also nominate @Cal. He's the one who got me interested..... It's be one of his main razors for months now. Vintage anything wasn't on my radar but thx to Cal and David, my interest was peeked.

Thank you, Kim. Always happy to help.

Rotating razors during Shark Week made me appreciate my Early Postwar ball handle even more. A good prewash, Mike’s Natural Soap and a Feather High Stainless (61) gave me a BBS!

I had my third shave with my British Flat Bottom Tech last night....well, around 4PM yesterday afternoon. When I got up this morning at 6AM, everything was still smooth but the two opposing problematic sections on my chin. Not bad for a "mild" razor.

 

[Tathlum]

I'm guessing those flat bottom techs are kinda rare? Can't find one for sale, yet

There’s nothing like Micromatic Monday to remind me how much I like my Early Postwar Tech! Another great shave. Every day is Tech Tuesday for me (unless it’s not).
