Vintage Gillette SC

Nice...they are a lovely wee razor aren't they? Yours is Nickel plated?
You have made a great choice there.
The SC holds the blade more rigid than the LC. I had an LC first but sold it and bought the SC (yes, I think it shaves better than the LC).
Am I allowed to show mine? (Only because it's the Gold version, and it shows that these razors look great in any 'colour').
Please excuse the grubby case though. I will clean it when I learn how to do that without ruining the case.

Very nice looking razor
 
Thanks @Dave2018
I have seen a Delta Echo version that looked great too (yes, it's not everyones 'cup of tea' I know).
Now Delta Echo is no more, so maybe an opening there for some enterprising lad to start a similar service.

I liked the look of Delta Echo razors, nothing like it in the UK unfortunately, all sorted now though.
 
I've paired it with a NACET blade and was very happy with first shave. I can see it becoming a keeper as I start exploring the world of vintage razors.

The Nacet is a top blade and I used them with my Techs too, I can only advise you try an LC or SC and GSB blades, the Gillette 2 and 3 piece vintage razors are hard to beat, the blade alignment is fool proof unlike Merkur, Muhle and Fatip, the build quality is generally all brass, no Zamak.

If you like the Tech, Star 100 razors are worth a look, a little more aggressive, a heavier handle but a pot metal top cap.

I have tried loads of razors and blades and for me it's a Gillette New SC with GSB and Rubies blades, TOBs cream and a Yaqi synthetic brush.

Just when you think your RAD is temporarily satisfied...

2 more razors to find and try :)
