Having acquired a few modern razors and getting much enjoyment from them, I thought I would tentatively dip my toe in the vintage pool, to see what alll the fuss is about :icon_cheesygrin: I have a 'mate' who, like me has only been into DE razors for a relatively short time, but has a very bad case of RAD. He's acquired over a dozen in a few months. He bought a load of stuff round for me to look at and left me with a couple to try. I really fell in love with a Slim, so decided to hunt one down.
On the way, I accidentally bought one of these:
IMAGES DELETED
A lovely little Tech in a Bakelite case with a few English made blades. I've not used it yet, but it's incredibly light and appears very tight and well put together. I'm thinking it would make a great travel razor. It cost me the princely sum of ten of your English pounds! :icon_razz:
And yes, I found my Slim. It hasn't arrived yet, but it is boxed and my birth year and quarter. It appears to be in near mint condition. Unlike the Tech, I think I may have got carried away and paid way over the odds for it :blush: Also, it's coming from the US so I may yet get stung for import duty too :icon_sad: but in my defence, it was late, I'd had a few beers and it looked real pretty!
Save me from helpful mates, alcohol and Ebay, a demonic combination!
