7-o-Clock razor ID help.

[DiggaDog]

I have this baseplate. Fits my Tech handle and cap OK.
What do I have please?
An OC Tech? A RFB of some type?
Thanks for any info, and please realise...I have just the baseplate so don't get confused by the handle/cap.

7 o clock were a brand, I believe, that made razors/heads very similar to the Gillette New OC - Gillette bought them out and continued with the name. I have one of these too. great razor

I have one too, it's a great razor.

First shave with it today. Very smooth.
Not as close as my Timeless or Karve, but very nice to use.
It's light, and feels like a toy!
Better shave than my Tech's too.
I might keep this one.

Almost as good as an OLD.

Unless you've got an aluminum handle, that's a solid brass Tech handle, which is fairly heavy compared to many vintage razors. I don't think that's the correct handle for that razor.

 

[TobyC]

This is the handle normally found on those.

Thanks @TobyC but I think you missed this bit...

and please realise...I have just the baseplate so don't get confused by the handle/cap.

So yes, that's my Tech handle and cap.
I only bought the base from a mismatched set.

Ah, I did see that, but after going to other threads and then coming back, I had forgotten. Sorry about that.

No prob's.
I have only used the razor once but it was a very nice shave.
I have had a Gillette NEW LC but didn't like it all that much.
It was replated (Nickel), and looked great. I couldn't get used to it though.
Never felt as smooth as my NEW SC, so I sold it.



The 7-o-Clock base is a different thing all together.
Looks similar to a NEW LC, but smoother.
Be nice if someone would make these again, maybe in stainless steel, then I wouldn't have needed to buy my Karve (oh, and also ordered a Wolfman).
