Italian Barber Intros Tech Clone

After some more shaves I have reached a few conclusions. The resultant shave with this razor is exactly like that of a post-war Tech, but (and it's a big but) it is smoother. This new Teck II has what is IMO a better way to hold the blade with the four corner "points". That, coupled with a slightly more ergonomic head, gives a tad smoother shave IMO. It is not aggressive by any means.

With that said, I think this is still an excellent daily shaver (perhaps better) for those who like the post-war Tech aggression. But far more than that, this just may be the ne plus ultra DE razor for neophytes when you combine the aforementioned qualities as well as price point. It is incredibly smooth. The perfect beginner or "loaner" DE razor. ;)
Thank You for the input. It sounds like its a good razor.
 
As a Gillette Tech enthusiast, curious whether anyone has tried the Baili 191? Currently under £7 on Aliexpress.

The Baili BR171 is the same razor (same head) and is a SUPERB DE razor!! They are super smooth and the head covers the blade end tabs to boot. I assure you from one Tech lover to another that you will love it. ;)

Funnily enough - just mooching at the Kanzy razor. Seems identical to the Baili 171 - slightly cheaper on the Bay.
 
Thanks & good luck. A good razor bought on the cheap warms the heart. I just haggled into a pristine English Gillette "ball end" Tech for $10.00 U..S. total the other day. It's my second of this particular model as I really like the post-war ones better as at least to my face they are smoother.

Likewise, enjoy a cheap razor these days. Been round the block buying razors; now enjoying the basic stuff again.
