What I learned from my last shave is; Don’t use a razor “blade“ that is not superior.
I just ordered 50 Personna med prep blades. They are superior.

Wow. I've never used a Tech, but I have two Super Speeds (the older 1948-50, and the newer 1965), and they seem mild as can be. Currently, when I'm not using the SR, I use a 1960 Fatboy. I have it on 1. That seems to be even milder than my Super Speeds.
Does the Tech have a plastic handle? The Fatboy is heavier than the Super Speeds. There is a Gillette Slim adjustable. Out of curiosity, I just put them both on a scale. The Fatboy is 2.8 ounces, and the Slim is 2.5 ounces. These are all I have. I know there are others on the market. These all belonged to Dad, and they've worked great, so I never had a desire to buy a new one.and the overall weight of the Super Speed is much heavier, so those two factors means a major adjustment in technique for me since I've got over 10 years using the Tech and only a couple weeks on the Super Speed. I'm gonna have to look into an adjustable (after the GRUME is over).
I learned using an Ikon X3 and a sharp blade makes it seem like I know what I’m doing.
