I had wanted a RFB at the time but wasn't up to the crazy pricing. Saw this with a broken tooth listed for $20 USD and have a great shaver now. I need to send it off for a replating eventually. Where's that Hybrid Tech now............That looks bob-on with the RFB plate! I've done one of these with a flat-bottom plate and it looked a bit, well, not right ... RFB, yes! I'm sure @Bogeyman would never forgive me for doing this to a Hybrid Tech

I'll keep it in mind but you're a little late for an intervention here TobyIt's amazingly easy to replace a tooth.
Just planting the seed, a minor repair instead of an amputation.I'll keep it in mind but you're a little late for an intervention here Toby

... and I've said the same. But when you've both a Jaguar and a Daimler in the garage, inevitably the Daimler goes for a ride. I do keep an eye out for a shaver grade/economical purchase for you. Right! 'nuff of this double edge talk ... this is a SINGLE edge thread.@pjgh Rohleder has convinced me that the Hybrid Tech shaves no different than an English FB Tech which is logical from their exact specs. Of course this runs counter to the mythology some seem to have that the Hybrid is magical and the "Excalibur" of wet shavedom.
