this Kairos SE ( Lamb Tallow + Emu Oil ) base really is spectacular, and with the Weber performing like a champ with the Wizzie, it is no surprise that the resulting shave was an absolute joy.

No time for a picture today. Nice shave though, I think @Bogeyman was right all along about the post war English Tech.
A few simple things to the Tech recipe, the blade is clamped across the line and with a brass head. Produces a nice smooth shave incredibly consistently. Seems to work with a lot of different blades as well.
One small obvious statement to make.
I truly love my Techs.

Taking a brief step away from Lord over this weekend with the ST-300 yesterday and the STP-300 tonight, really just as a reality check with another brand which I think relates well to Lord - the ST-300 much akin to the better of the Super Stainless class (like the Racer or ASCO, certainly the Lord Extra or Classic) and the STP-300 akin, again, to the standout brands in the Platinum Class (again, Racer and ASCO).
Both shaves very much enjoyed and could actually make either a regular shave.
I've been a bit sniffy about the Dorco Prime in the past and again, I think it's my heavy-handed technique that has given me a bad impression as it is certainly a very sharp blade and really is an efficient shave, yes, much like the Lord Platinum Class.
Yeah! With a slight adjustment of technique and the Muhle Rocca, which you really can't get a bad shave out of, I think I have another choice on my list now. Maybe not a top 20 blade, but it's probably a top 25 blade.
