A Tech and a Feather is one of my favorite shaves. I've got a handful of Techs and can't help but pick them up when the price is right.
Techs rock. There is a reason that they are classics..................they work great.
Yes one on my favorites.

Tech + Feather is a perfect combo imo.
You can do better than one backup razor, Techs are almost as cheap as dirt.

Love Techs. They are my everyday razor. Add an 80mm Bulldog barrel and it's shaving Satori.

Gillette Techs were made from 1938 to 1979 and Gillette sold millions of them. The reason they are so popular is simple: They work.
This. According to my detailed calculations, you will need 87 Tech's to endure adequate backup.
You're close; Don't forget to factor in age.
Damn it all. Thanks Mike. Make that 112 Tech's. Whew, disaster averted. Could you imagine, him trying to get by with 87 Tech's when he needed 112? A ghastly thought.
That's one of my favorite combos as well.
Upon the experiences shared above, I decided to try Tech-Feather combo. I have both, but I had not tried till now.

I'm another big Tech fan. It is the only razor that I picked up a spare for. My son tried all of my razors and a pre-war Fat Handled Tech was his favorite, so now there is a third Tech in the house. The fact that they are a great razor for those new to DEs makes many write them off if they are experienced. I was one who made that error. Mine sat in a drawer for a year under the mistaken assumption that it was a beginner's razor. When I retried it after I had good technique, I was surprised when I ended up with an effortless, comfortable BBS shave. It is a great "beginner's razor", but it is, more importantly, an excellent razor overall!
Can I get an Amen!
Go Tech's!!
I have 2 myself... A pre-war heavy and a birth year ball end D-4.
Tried both with Feathers but too rough for my skin type. GSB's are working like a dream..

A Tech took me out of this year's Shenanigans. I'd been looking for a pristine Tech for almost two years. Stumbled on one that looked perfect. Asked to see it and it was flat out perfect. It had been used because there was a bit of ancient soap on it. Other than that it looked new. The store's owner said "Is $5 too much. We had a much prettier one yesterday that we sold for $12." I handed her the $5 and left quickly.
Spent 5 minutes cleaning it. I was perfect. Most of the five minutes was a Listerine soak. Paired it with a Feather and had a BBS with it first time out the door.
