You can pick up these heavy handled 60's Techs in as new condition for next to nothing when they come in one of these travel sets, probably cheaper than a Tech on its own.
A crackin shave today, the brilliant Palmolive mixed in the heavyweight copper Captains Choice bowl with the Smog-Hog brush producing easily enough slick, nicely scented lather for my shave from a hazelnut sized "dollop", the vintage blade holding up well considering this is its 5th 2 pass shave outing.
KCG did not get anything wrong when making these fantastic little razors. i would love an exact copy in Stainless steel, the closest i have are the flawless Feather AS-D1 and WS-D2 versions, however, the handles do not give the same feel in the hand as the shorter Tech handle.
Enjoy your day all.
