Good shave but probably should've ditched the blade and it felt a little ragged and tuggy. Still loving the handle/head combination which has been a real revelation. Could never get a Gillette Tech to give the sort of results either an EJ or my trusty 34c yields but if anything this setup is even better. The handle, I havd tried with an EJ (not bad, not great) and a Minora LC (face-remover!) but for some strange reason, I never did pair it with my re-plated Tech until now. Almost sold the ruddy Tech so jolly glad didn't! Seem to remember
@Count of Undolpho posting a while back regarding the use of a Tech head with a longer heavier handle and his positive findings so I'm very pleased to echo these. The handle is a marvel of craftsmanship by
@RedHorseman and is of a design inspired by the late great Bob of Bob's Razor Works. Approximately 12mm diameter by 85mm in length and looks rather akin to this example:
The grip is excellent, the balance a treat and the overall finish is a masterclass in highly polished stainless steel. Just feels so natural in the hand with the angle being perfectly easy to find every time. I'm sure the picture above is by a member here but cannot, for the life of me, remember who. Age.....sheesh.
