Part 1 of a 3 part series. Great info for learning how to lather, not just with the Stirling soaps he used. Might want to watch them all.

I myself haven't shaved since I was 16 or 18 maybe? For me, shaving falls under the same
theory I have for pairing my socks... I just don't do it, lol. The sock revelation came to me
while mowing (most good ideas do). And it has since changed my life forever. LOL

This is a 40s Gillette fat handle Tech.
Came with an unopened pack of blades, I imagine that came with it. I do not think i'll be opening those. The case shows obvious age, but still pretty slick condition for being 70 years old.(if it's original to the razor that is)
Still the razor is in excellent condition.

My first shave with the Tech was tonight using a Dorco blade. Going from the Weishi to the Tech was pretty phenomenal.
Much more "aggressive" than the Weishi, which made shaving so much easier. It would take a ton of effort to achieve a consistent shave with the Weishi, but with the Tech, the blade just glided across my face with minimal effort.(at least in contrast to the Weishi)
Now I must say, I would like a bit more weight in the handle or a bit more aggression in the razor. This shave was much bether than I've had in awhile but I could definitely see where having a more aggressive razor would make a shave that much better.
