Default Review of Gillette Tech 1951 for Contest "Magic Three"

Here I reviewed a vintage razor for which I have not found a review on the B&B or anywhere else on the net for that matter: the Gillette Tech 1951 Three Piece with Black Plastic Handle.

Thanks,
Doug

I also reviewed my HD here. Have used it quite a lot. Its brilliant, and deserved a wrap! About time! Thanks B&B for the motivation to give this little fella some attention!


+1 on the straight razor review comp - I have a couple but they aren't through the restoration process yet, nor do I know how to use them anywhere well enough to review them! A SR comp would beef up that forum a bit more though thats only a good thing!

Here's my review of the Merkur HD 34c. From my limited collection of razors, this one has become my top dawg. I made this quick and dirty review early on in my DE range of experience, but I am pleased to say that my view of the HD hasn't changed. It's a great tool.

Nice razor, would have figured we would have a few more reviews. The odds for the current list of entries are looking pretty good!

I completed a review for the Weishi. This is my first review of a "meh" razor. Hope to write one about a razor I'm excited about later =)
