Sentimental

Dave2018 · Wednesday March 21, 2018

I had been using a 1940s flat bottom English Tech but have recently bought a Fatip Grande.
I was going to sell the Tech but just couldn't do it.
The Tech is 70+ years old and in mint condition, it's not as efficient as the Fatip but it's smoother with less irritation.

So today I am selling the Fatip and will enjoy the Tech for the wonderful razor it is.
I chose history over out and out efficiency, getting soft in my old age

I think you took the right choice ,the fb Tech is an excellent razor, besides you can get a Fatip whenever you want to.

It's actually nice to keep going with a minimalistic point of view - i'm going mental with alla the stuff i have amassed .

I like what you did there, going mental, not sentimental, very good

I think mental is the correct word, will stay with the Tech, it does the job.

No, I think you was correct with sentimental and there is nothing wrong with that, why sell a razor with some age and history for something new that won't be better, now that would be mental! P.

I must admit owning a 70 year old razor in perfect condition is as you say nicer than buying new year.

Well done. Yes.

Regardless of the age or sentimentality you chose the razor that gave you the best shave and that is what we are here for. The best shave.

Very true, I used the Tech tonight with a new Treet black blade, excellent close shave, no irritation or drama.

The Tech is more than just a razor. It is simply "the way".

Why not have both?

The Fatip is just a memory now, just me and the Tech, no plans for another razor.

Would you ask Elvis to share the stage with a rookie?
