I'd rather eat poo than have a replated razor, it's like a facelift on an old hag, you can spot it a mile away.

Quite right. If I want to look at something old and haggard while sha**ing, I can look in the mirror
.* Apologies, I had a temporary failure of the 'v' and 'e' keys on my keyboard so replaced them with asterisks.

... and we're off!
I've made my selections for the month and will endeavour to post them in here as well as SOTD. I'll be using two models per week, so likely post 'em Mondays and Fridays.
First up ... it's a Canadian pre-War Tech.

I never even knew there was a Canadian Flat Bottom Tech!
As a Tech enthusiast, I'm actually quite surprised my knowledge of some of the models is quite limited!

I never knew either until I found it on Ebay Can..The cap and plate do not interchange with the British ones either.Fine shaver..

Now, that is very interesting!

Because of the corners of the cap?

The British cap is quite tight on the Canadian baseplate, ..having to push them apart to load a blade ,almost like one is metric and the other imperial. It could just be tolerances between 2 different stamping machines also..

I'm going to use some of these Techs over the month, some I don't give as much love to my other ones.
Left to right. Flat Bottom with the plating stripped off, aluminium handle with a brass head, and zamak head on an aluminium handle.
Here was yesterday's shave.
First time using the Lord Cool blade that Paul @pjgh gave me a while back, I think it might be one of the sharper Lord blades I've used. Very nice indeed.
May this auspicious month of June be a good for you!

If I could only have one razor, this might be it. But I don't need to, so I have a lot of razors.
Congrats though, the Fat Handle is a delightful razor in the shave.

That model is quite the classic. Congratulations!
