Hi Martin. I have this one soap left from TSD. I have been focusing on a 10 pack Gillette Stainless blades made in the Czech republic back in the 1990s.

Ahh, I get it. The soap was from a while back.
I picked up some Gillette Super Stainless 10 packs that were made in Argentina and dated 1991. They were supposed to be better than anywhere else being made from that time and are much like the old Spoilers. Happy to send out some for a comparison if you like.

To me, this head needs some weight and is a great candidate for a Frankenrazor of some kind. I use mine stuck onna Weber handle and it feels good in my hand.

Cheers Uncle Martin!
I've shied away from the a Stahly head as I find it - to put it bluntly - fairly ugly! I oughtn't be such a snob. Perhaps I'll investigate it some time now you've put it out there.
I married the Tech head to both a Weber Bulldog and UFO Kaiser at various points but I must say that
I came back round to the stock handle as a preference! It is the Fat Handle version of the Tech, in fairness, but I even prefer my last remaining NEW on its tiny service handle than when paired with a stainless steel relative behemoth! Most strange!
Thanks for your thoughts!

Hah, ugly eh? Never even thought of that possibility.....heh.
I hear that about liking the original Tech handle more from other people too. Crazy about having such opposing druthers.
Well if you can handle the look of em, the Stahly head would probably be a good fit.

Here's a very poor pic of the grotesque looking Webley. Might be even better with a little shorter handle.
