Probably too big to load up from your lovely new Yardley box! Have a lot of fun ... with both.

Last of the recent vintage purchases, think it's a 1956 set, either which way its a nice weight and looks to be in brilliant condition

Bl**Dy hell Marc, that's a beaut!
My Tech is a real nice shaver, came without a box or any blades, £12 off an ex member via the bay. If I wanted it to look like that one I'd have to send it to John June for refurb and plate though.
You gonna shave with it or is it more of a collector's item? When I saw the mintness of the Slim I bought from Rohleder I almost wavered about leaving it on display, but I bought it to use and had one of the best shaves of my life with it so no regrets!!

Oh it's definitely going to see use think it'd be a shame not to give it a go, I'm not a display kind of guy.
£22 final bid from the bay, saw it when it was listed and thought it looked identical to the one on the Mr Razor Gillette Tech page so took a punt. I expected it to go higher but the listing only described it as a Gillette 3 piece razor so might not have attracted as many viewings. Glad I took the plunge!

Have you used those vintage blades?
I've got some but not sure whether it's worth using them?

I'm not going to use them, I'll stick with my personal tried and tested. Plus I'd rather remain ignorant, wouldn't want to like them then have to sell body parts just to get my hands on them for each shave.

That little Aluminium Tech is probably one of the best razors in my collection shave wise and was one of the cheapest razors I brought lol go figure.

I like the pack!
I bought the round hole Tiger carbon some years ago and (from memory) did complete the shave! It was indeed horrible!
