Razor: Postwar FH Gold(ish) Tech
Blade: GSB (1)
Brush: Ever Ready F40
Soap: Sir Hare Barbershop

First time using this Tech. I like it. Of course, I like it - I love Techs.
Can’t tell a huge difference from my prewar triangle slot but it has been about a week since I used it. Plan to do a right side/left side comparison soon.
Very smooth. BBS on 3 pass without effort.
Also the first use of the F40 brush. Tried an ER 100 yesterday and decided it didn’t need to be re-knotted. The F40, however, definitely needs a new knot. Kind of scratchy and had to reload the brush for 2nd and 3rd passes.

'64 Delta Echo Slim / Gillette 7 o'clock yellow (3)
I only use 3 blades for DE shaving
Feather, Astra SP and vintage Gillette Super Blues from the 50s and 60s
Feather is by far the smoothest blade out there, I use it in my Gillette Slim
I use the Astra SP and Super Blues in my Gillette Old type, sometimes I use them in my Slim on a 7 8 or 9, while I use the feathers on a 1 2 or 3 in my slim.
