I saw that shoebox shave shop is selling a new Tech style razor, called the Mundial Classic.

Anyone have a chance to try one out yet?

Mundial Classic at Shoebox (http://www.shoeboxshaveshop.com/mundialclassic.html)

The price is very reasonable, and it doesn't look that badly made. Tech clones interest me, as it seems most are not as good as the original. :tongue_sm

Looks pretty sweet.

Price is certainly right.


Maybe you should get one, compare it with a vintage Tech, and let us know.:cool:

I need to resist feeding my ADs. I already have a Feather Portable coming this week; I was trying to scale back my razor collection, not continue to grow it. :lol::lol:

The thinness of the bottom plate squicks me out. Chunky, solid metal is one thing I love about nice DEs, and the tin-can-ness of that plate turns me off.

Always good to see a new DE though.

Didn't notice that at first: yep, the shoddy construction of the bottom plate rules this out as being a durable razor. I will pass, especially considering that I just ordered a Feather Portable. :tongue_sm

I agree that the blade plate looks a bit thin - probably OK but it will likely have peculiar balance. I had a TTO that I bought in Brazil and the quality was very low unfortunately.

These are cheap enough, but they don't look very durable. I'd take a Feather Portable first.

If you had a hone, and held it at the right angle, you could probably shave WITH the blade plate.

The handle might be worth the cost, its very nice.

Mundial is a Brazilian firm which makes first class, high end, well priced, chef's knives. I have one and it is superb. I'm sure this little razor is a quality product.

I bought one of these, the head is very thin and you could actually bend it without effort, if you are looking for a heavy stem then it's worth the money just don't pay for the extra shipping.

Is that the "finger adjustable guard bar"?

that looks alot like a tech clone i picked up here in spain under the brand "better",
absolute trash sound quality, the guardbar would bend from just looking at it,

I don't know; it is the 'made in China' part that worries me most.

I have held more expensive Chinese razors in my hand that were only good for recycling.
