"TSC's Shave Sales Deal Finder"
July 5, 2020:
Today's shave I wanted to try out a new blade, the Gillette Wilkinson Sword so I grabbed what is likely my mildest razor - The 1952 Bakelite Tech. I picked this tech up from @Techichi shop . A beautiful specimen, it's hard to believe this razor is from 1952!
In the end, it proved too hard to get a close shave with this blade in the Tech, so I added a shim for a fourth pass and everything came out fine.
