One Blade in February
Tech Tuesday
Daily Double

Razor: Ontario Cutlery
Razor: 1947 Flat Bottom Tech
Blade: Gillette Platinum (8)
Brush: Omega 622 Silvertip
Soap: The Wanderer
ASL: Pinaud Classic Vanilla

Great shave tonight.
I used the Ontario Cutlery for a couple of WTG and XTG passes on my face, then finished up with three more passes on my neck and face with my 1947 FBT.
WTG, ATG, then WTG to finish up, lathering up in between each pass.
The Ontario Cutlery left some stubble on my face for my FBT, but it was comfortable and gentle on my skin.
The 1947 Tech is such a pleasure to use, there is no wonder it keeps popping up in my regular rotation. Comfortable and efficient, it is the Top Tech of all my techs.
The Witch hazel felt smooth, the Classic Vanilla had nary a sting, and the Nivea balm finished up a superb shave.

Have a Great Shave

First time using the Tech. Couldn't believe how mild yet efficient it was. Need to improve on the angle going upwards ATG top of the neck but that's for next time.

Shave no.2 with the Tech done today. Much better. Finding the small window of angle easier.

Morning all. I tried the Tech yesterday for the first time on just over 2 days growth. Previously it was 1 or 2 days, this time 3 and a half days maybe. Blade was Gillette Wilkinson so quite sharp. I did find the shave involved a lot of tugging and required a lot more work to get a suitable finish. Would this be more to do with still not mastering the right angle? Or is it not cut out for longer whiskers and more of a day or two driver?

Could be or you need yet a sharper blade. I have seen guys taking on a week’s worth of growth with a Tech. They combined it with a Nacet or Feather I recall.

Thank you. Just doing a few dry runs for when I go away next month. I'll most likely be shaving every few days then so want to get the suffering out the way now! Will go Nacet next time.

And I think a key to success can also be to use very short neutral strokes. But at least very short. Also helps with blade longevity.

Cheers and happy experimenting,

Guido
