The Tech Clone Wars

[never-stop-learning]

I have a number of the cheap Tech Clones in route. Should arrive this/next week.

When they get here, I'll post my shaving impressions.

One that I already have, and have shaved with, is the Black Tiger:

If you like the Tech, you will like this razor!

Smooth, non-fatigueing. Got a great shave.

Plus, when I waive a magnet over it, all parts of the razor are attracted to the magnet.

For roughly $11 including shipping, this Clone is a pretty good bargain.

Global Shave Clubs International has this razor on their website. I got mine new, on eBay from the same folks.

Please post your experiences with any of the Tech Clones you've used.

Plating is could be magnetic!

I only have Techs no clones and have one on the way

This is an interesting thread ! Posting so I can follow.

That could be.

It is a heavy razor for the size (especially the handle). Balance is good. If I drop the individual parts on the tile counter, they sound like metal.

The box says "100% steel". I doubt that, but who knows?

I'll probably also include the Maggard V3M since it looks pretty Tech-like.

Should be fun.

Baili BR171 Double Edge Safety Razor DE

The Baili BR71, a modern Gillette tech clone with a nicely contoured handle. Great razor at a rock bottom price. No box or packing to provide you the lowest price possible. * Baili Double Edge Series * Three-piece Design * 9cm length, 75g weight * Metal material, Silver Color

groomatorium.com

Probably the same razor. If so, it's a fine shaver and IMO it shaves just a frog hair less closely than a bonafide Tech.

That's a different razor. I think it's mostly made from zamak/pot metal. I'm ordering a few of those to check out. I plan to make a frankenrazor with them, actually. I'm goig to use parts from another, non-Tech razor made by Baili (the one I gave my dad that was crazy aggressive- I like the handle but the blade gap is crazy).

At that price, though... who cares what it's made out of.

I’ve shaved with that one before and found it very maneuverable , but I get weepers from these Baili razors.

What blade(s) have you tried?

 

[cgr86]

What blade(s) have you tried?

In Baili’s ? Kai, Astra , GSB, Derby , then at that point I said ok maybe it’s just not for me.

Are you all contemplating purchasing tech clones for shave comparison thread here?

I bought a number of inexpensive Tech clones off of eBay to see if any if them stack up to the original Tech.

Some have arrived, still waiting for several.

I think the Razorock Tek II is quite an excellent shaver!

That would be an interesting addition to the group.

Same (head) as the Baili BR171

Looks like the RazoRock DE-1 or Teck II might be a good addition?

As soon as I get all the razors in, time to start shaving and see which Clone will rule!

Should be a great shave-off!!

And a large shave-off.

Looking at the list, I may need to recruit some help.
