Dirty Donuts are so Good.
Purchased a NOS Ball Handled TECH from an antique store the other day and am trying to decide if i should use it this Tech Tuesday. It came in a red Gillette cardboard box which has an ink stamp that reads, 'Gift of the American Red Cross. Not for resale.'

Should I use it or display it?

Cut my hand and spent last night in the emergency room. My TECH Tuesday is rescheduled till tomorrow. I think I'll break out a NOS blade I found at a garage sale. I might actually shave this PM, but probably tomorrow AM

Why would anyone swap the nice original tech handle and replace it with a slippery one?

Didnt like this shave that much as it was my first shave with a Tech, probably going to sell it soon and stick with my adjustable.

The Gillette Super Stainless get a mixed review. Quick work above the jaw line and uncomfortable below the jaw line.

Not spoiled.

No-date-code Tech ('40-ish), Crystal blade, Proraso Pre, Proraso Red, Parker Pure, Proraso Green AS. It was a good start to the day.

Next, I need to try my new no-date-code SS that I just polished up.

Just to try it. The Muhle handle is not slippery and adds a nice weight to the overall razor that results in a great shave. Have others (handles) that work better but the Muhle is not bad. Tech handle is uncomfortable for me to shave with as I keep looking for a comfortable way to grasp it. It is on the small, light side for me.
