I thought to myself, I've got plenty of Tech razors and I'd already picked up a couple of flare-tips, 1 x US one and 1 x Brit one. I'd already bought my brother a black handled birth year one and liked it, so I got one of them.
Then I thought, Blue and Red......I
NEED one each of those too! I use the term need in the most general sense of the word, but I did need them!!!
I'd been outbid a couple of times for a few red-tips on the Bay, so when I was bored searching the Bay again (Mrs D was watching some complete tosh on telly) and saw what looked like an excellent condition red-tip from the seller in the US that I'd got my brother's birth year one from, I thought bugger it!
The B-4 red-tip is indeed in beautiful condition (as described), so much so, that I think it has been reconditioned.
The C-2 blue-tip is a bit manky with plenty of green crud on the underside, but the doors open OK and it has minimal patina on the doors themselves; mechanically, seems sound enough and a blade looks to sit OK, so, some cleaning up to do.
Whilst I was on there, also saw my birth year Tech, for $9, so that went in the basket. I can say, it's in cracking nick for just over £8 and I can use any handle on it really if this one proves too short!
Am away for a couple of days, so don't know whether I'll leave these until the weekend to try out after a bit of a clean.
