TECH Tuesday

Tech Tuesday!

Pre-war Tech
Personna Blue (9)
Omega Bigger Bambino brush
Razorock Orange Sunshine soap
Generic Witch Hazel
Nivea Sensitive post shave balm

This was the second Tech Tuesday on this razor and blade
 
Been awhile but here’s to another Tech Tuesday!

Ball-end Tech / Personna blue (1) The rest is pretty much the same as above. The blade tugged more than expected for a new one. Lather must have been off.
 
Really needed to shave yesterday, but purposefully waited until Tech Tuesday!
I only shave ~every 3rd or 4th day, and every shave is a Tech shave for me!

My line-up:

Pre-War (triangular lather slots) Fat Handle Tech
Gillette Silver Blue blade (use #2 - my favorite blade use!)
D.R. Harris Marlborough (hard soap puck in wooden bowel)
Simpson 56 Best Badger brush
Reuzel Aftershave

Well worth the wait!
 
This week, I acquired my 3rd Tech (sorry, no pics) so now the line-up is:
Pre-war Fat Handle - silver
Post-war Ball End - gold
'66 Ball End - silver

SOTD-
'66 Ball End
Personna Red
Yaqi 24 synthetic tux
Fine Green Vetiver
Avon Deep Woods
 
This week's Tech Tuesday shave for 28 January 2020:

Minty 1938-45 "Pre-War" Fat Handle Tech razor (Original nickel plating with triangular lather slots.)
Gillette Silver Blue blade (4th use - still going strong and smooth!)
Simpson's 56 Best Badger brush
Maggard Razors "Groves of Italy" artisan shave soap (made exclusively for Maggard's by Maria Arman in the GREAT State of Michigan!)
Reuzel Aftershave (with it's "T4" tonic blend of witch hazel, nettle leaf, rosemary and horsetail root extracts!)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,... Tech Tuesday is a good Tuesday!
 
I just loaded my pre-war Fat Handled Tech with a Isreali Personna. The couple of times I have tried techs, I had not-so-great-shaves. They are milder than I like. I keep hearing folks here praising them so I have committed myself to shaving with one for seven days starting tomorrow on Tech Tuesday :biggrin1:

The last time I used mine, I butchered my neck and van dyke trying to get a BBS shave. It was like a five pass shave with touch up. This time I will do my regular WTG/ATG & touch-up. By the end of the week, hopefully I shall have the sweet spot down and getting DFS shaves.
 
A very Jazzy Tech Tuesday today!

The Line-Up:
Gillette 1938-45 Pre-War (triangular lather slots) Fat Handle Tech
Gillette Silver Blue blade (use #5)
Simpson 56 Best Badger brush
Zingari Man / West Coast Shaving "The Soloist" shave soap
Reuzel Aftershave

I love the Tech razors and certainly don’t need it to be Tuesday to use one. I have 11 of them including 3 fat-handled ones and several countries represented. Great razors.
