Received three 1930's "Made in England" razors in excellent shape. I'm having trouble matching them using the mr-razor archives.
No matter, they're great.

The Top one is an English Tech, the bottom on looks like an English Travel Tech ( I have one of these). The one in the middle may be a Frankenrazor, Gillette New head on Tech handle.

Edit: just noticed the bottom one also has a New head, albeit with British Tech slots. Don't know that one, maybe a very late new or a New/Tech hybrid.

That's very interesting, I somehow missed those. I was under the impression that when Gillette started making Techs in 1938 that they stopped making News. I'm guessing that they overlapped for a while.

I'm now going to extend my RAD to late News and New/Tech hybrids. [emoji2]

Sorry about that my Enabler Monkey must have slipped out of his cage ...... :p :)
 
Received my first Tabac shaving soap last week.
Used it this morning and it's a 'good' soap with a 'good' scent but nothing, so far, stands out as exceptional when comparing it to soaps like Klar Kabinett and i Coloniali. We'll see - maybe I need to use it a few more times :)

Whereas I can smash straight into a bowl of Tabac ......... But the I Coloniali has so far eluded me .......

I've only used it a few times, though ......... So the real showdown hasn't come yet ......... Nice bowl, though ....... :D
