GIVEAWAY! Tech two-fer!!!

[gpjoe]

I wanted to do a Holiday PIF, but caught covid and haven't felt up to doing much...until now...I'm back baby!

So, let's make up for lost time.

Up for grabs are two Techs...a ball-end C2 (1957, great year for cars and me) and a pre-war with the fat handle.

The C2 is unmolested, and has a couple of dings and a small spot of missing plating. I could re-plate the cap, but then the Gillette logo would be lost...a deal breaker. So, this one has only been cleaned and polished, and a very nice example of a near 70-year-old Gillette.

The pre-war Tech had significant plating loss (as I recall), so I re-plated the cap only, and cleaned and polished the handle and base plate. This one still has a lot to give...a very nice user for sure.

Rules (hate em, but...):

- You must have been a registered member no later than January 1. 2025.
- You may not sell the razor...if it doesn't work for you, you must give it away.
- If you have recieved a razor from one of my past giveaways, I ask that you kindly obstain from this PIF, unless you plan to pass it on to a friend or family member.
- CONUS only.

To enter, copy the list below and enter your user name next to the number of your choice.

When the list is full, the PIF is closed, and I'll go to random.org or Wheel of Names to determine the winner.

NOTE: ONE PERSON WILL RECEIVE BOTH RAZORS.

Good luck (and happy New Year)!

Not IN, but both those Razor I own, both Shave Well. But I am a Vintage Gillette Guy, love Old Gillette's.

Great@gpjoe is doing another OIF.

I scored my Ball End From @gpjoe, been using it many time in 2025.

 

[Bsamps]

Awesome giveaway. I have a tech that I adore. Great opportunity for anyone who wants to experience the best of a vintage razor.

 

[EdHeart]

Not in. Have two Techs and love them. Yet another very cool and generous PIF @gpjoe. I can only speak to the fat handled one: great weight/balance, mild shave that does a great job for me. Noobs should jump on this.

 

[GTTony]

Very generous of you ! 1957 was a good year for me too.

@edsonmenini, it looks like you are in Brazil, and this is open to CONUS only. Unless you reply here (or send me a PM) that you have a US mailing address (don't post it here), I am going to remove your name.

Sorry.

Thank you.

 

[Hawkweber]

Not in as I already have a Tech from @gpjoe. Sorry you had to deal with COVID, but glad you are recovering.

 

[LexLexington]

Not in, but nice one.

 

[spacemonkey42]

Very generous of you, @gpjoe! Also glad you're on the mend.

Not in, I have techs of those styles, but the nickel is better looking than the gold-tone I have. Someone will be very lucky!

 

[dotKomo]

Happy you're over the Vid. Respectfully not in.

 

[Sammy1]

Count me in, I lent the one I got from you to my brother, I told him he could have it, so add me to the list if you can.
