with the guys above, I use polsilver SI in both my Techs and get great results, both are not so keen with 7 o clocks (green in my case)I am not getting along with my newly acquired English flat bottom TechTwo shaves in with a Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow and I'm getting nicks and irritation on my neck. Will need to try with a different blade and try that blade in a different razor.

Yeah, if you decide to lose the flat Tech, put my name into the hat before you decide who to give it to, OK? 
The British flat bottom tech is one of my favorite Techs and it has a reputation as a good shaver .Not sure of how long a run it was produced but they did make models with a lot of different handles .Here is are the few representatives of this fine razor I have in my possession and I'm sure there are more that I'm not familiar with.
Top left I believe is a British Tech Set #26 a 4 piece razor,the shipper is worst for wear , the brown bakelite holder has slots on the top and a razor blade fits in .Could have been a built in blade bank?
Top right an Australian Tech Set #77 or a 1946 Brit thick handle model, I can't tell the difference from the Mr razor site. I think this may be the same Bakelite box the #77 RFB came in.
Bottom left a shallow brown bakelite box with a Service style handle
The two uncased ones in the lower center are variations on the Service handle .The one on the right has an open bottom handle
Bottom right : Thin handle Tech in one of my favorite Gillette cases, the faux alligator .
A different view of the handles

I love that one on the top left. I believe they called it the bathroom set, or something like that? And yes I love my British Flat Bottom Techs - almost as much as I love my Gillette Tech/NEW Hybrid!

[MENTION=108511]Dan x[/MENTION] Very nice Tech collection, thanks for sharing!
[MENTION=90500]Hobgoblin[/MENTION] Some unusual models/handles, really nice! Especially that #26 with the bakelite holder, you don't see those very often.

Flat Bottom Tech today.
Used my post-war Tech on a UFO Kaiser Short handle today. Two passes plus touch-up to DFS. Very reliable razor.

Sorry, [MENTION=98310]mr_eleven[/MENTION] , I was really busy this last week with my daughters youth group and wasn't able to thank you for the blades. I can't wait to try out the Polisilvers and the Feathers was a nice bonus.....but the mints didn't stand a chance against a metal mail box and 115 degree Las Vegas heat. At least now when I get my mail, it smells nice and minty in there, so thanks for that.
Two of my preferred blades... Enjoy!
I love this Gillette Tech thread... I am learning a lot about the Gillette Tech..!
