Razor: Gillette Travel Tech 3rd Quarter, 1965 (South America)
Blade: Personna Platinum
Brush: Mühle Purist Silvertip Badger Ebonite
Soap: Grooming Department - Mallard Chai (sample)
Aftershave: Kwong Sang Hong - Two Girls Florida Water
Aftercare: Aloe Vera Gel
EdP: Armani Privé - Thé Yulong
I had to try out this razor at least once to see if I can handle it (pun intended). It turns out, I could. The Travel Tech is just that; a razor which is more suitable for when you're on the road and don't have a lot of extra luggage space. I was tempted to change the handle on the second pass, but I persevered and completed the entire shave with this very short handle. Result: CCS in two passes WTG with some touchups. I guess that is okay in a travel setting.
The Travel Tech is not a razor which I would use regularly for daily shaving and it's not likely that I'll use it for traveling either. It's a very good Tech and in pristine condition, I just don't see it having a place in my rotation. I might have to let this one go.

Much better shave today with this Gillette Tech from 1966. DFS++ in two passes WTG with some touchups. Quite amazing that a razor which is now almost 60 years old, is such a good shaver.
Saturday morning shave with my beloved, delightful Gillette NDC Gold Ball End Tech.
Sunday morning shave with my beloved USA made Gillette NDC Gold Ball End Tech.
Monday morning shave with my 1960’s English Gillette Plastic Handle Tech. This is my least favourite Gillette Tech. I just am not a fan of the lightness of the razor and I also struggle when I use it to get a good shave even though it has a Tech head.
Tech's are under appreciated, because they could not be any good because they sell cheap on resale market. Truth is they are hidden under appreciated GEM.

Lovely shave with this Gold NDC Tech. DFS in 2 passes WTG with touchups. No irritation, weepers or nicks. Just an easy, breezy Wednesday morning shave. The outstanding lather from B&M's Seville soap certainly helped move things along. This Tech is the favorite among the bunch. Each shave with it was amazing and I do like its looks. It is also beautifully preserved with almost no blemishes.
