A Razor Cannot Be "Efficient"

Come on! Whatever grazes your face that works is the ticket! Period! I have razors that melt stubble coming off the rack! I also have razors that invite stubble to tea...they all work depending on blade choice, angle and pressure. I spent decades pushing a disposable razor, ATG with nothing more than water...enjoy your gear and your shaves!

Sorry about the misspelling. Darn small keyboard on my cell phone.

I’ve shaved with a couple of Gillette Techs and the one I’ve kept is my Fat handled Tech. It’s a nice mild razor with a small sweet spot. Which I enjoyed finding many years ago when I got it. Honestly don’t use it to often as I have other razors I like better but it’s enjoyable when I use it as a daily type razor and it is a classic that I will keep for sure.

When I bought my Gillette Tech it was because it was kinda cheap, and was my birth quarter/year razor. Figured I'd just look at it after shaving with it once.

But...... Wow! What a great shaver. It would easily be my "desert island" razor.

Of course, if I'm ever stranded on an island, I'll probably just grow a beard and talk to a ball.

Never tried a Kai. I've got a Feather some kind soul gave me that's still in the wrapper.

I’ll have to try a feather in my tech and see how that combo suites me. I really want to love the tech as it feel really nice in my hand.

It is incredible...you barely feel the blade and it just mows that stubble down.

Personally, I don't think a Feather blade is all that great. I like Gillette better, but of course my opinion and $10 will get you a mocha latte at Starbucks. Regardless, I think prep & technique are more critical to getting a great shave with a Tech. The Tech razor has a learning curve as well.

It does, but it was a short curve for me. I love it with a GSB, Astra SS, and Nacet.

I will take that opinion of yours and the ten bucks and put it toward Dunkin Donuts coffee in medium roast in the bag!
