After seeing this: https://www.soldontv.com/index.asp advertised on TV and on the shelf at Walgreen's, I did some research on it on the Web. Some people had good luck with it, but others brought up valid issues with it. In my research I stumbled on articles about the movement back to DE shaving, sha...

I have an X2 Tech with the same black handle. Use the black handle with the head from an M1 "Travel Tech" that I've had since new, lightly used. Although they may seem tacky, those black plastic handles are better than the 2-in. aluminum handle that came with the travel razor, and are much easier to...

Not far from here is a county recycling center. I rode my bicycle down there last week and asked the guy in charge about used razor blades, and my spent cans of Old Spice. His reply was to just put them in the scrap metal bin. My plan is to bundle the used blades in stacks of 30-50 or more, and hold...

Thursday: English Tech w. brass top plate, aluminium base plate and handle. Dorco 301 blade, 3rd shave. Looks like about 4-5 shaves per blade with this combo. Started out on the same edge as the two previous shaves, finished with the other, fresh edge. Surrey boar brush. My late father's, so old the...

Saturday Afternoon: Gillette "Travel Tech" razor, M1, w. black handle from an X2 Tech. Dorco 301 blade, 4th, and likely last, shave. Old Spice regular in the can. Got a slightly minty, almost Noxema-like feeling about 20 seconds after applying stuff as it soaks into the skin. Meijer witch hazel Same...

I received a "Genuine leather, made in Austria" travel kit as a gift sometime in the late '60's. It contained an M1 "Travel Tech" razor with the short aluminum handle. I tried it a few times, endured one nasty cut, and then put it away for the new "high tech" Wilkinson plastic razors, Trac II, etc. ...

Received a sample pack of the following up-market (for me) blades: 7O'clock yellows, Super Iridium, and Polsilvers. Won't try them until I receive these: http://i18.ebayimg.com/01/i/000/fe/d6/a8c9_1.JPG The key words on the packages of both the 7O'Clocks and Super Iridiums is "Petersburg Products, m...

I purchased some ST-301's on eBay, and have a few ST-300's left over from a sample pack. Once out of the wrapper, there is no way to distinguish these blades, other than Squire's microscopic photos. The ink stampings and logos on them are identical. That's where the confusion seems to come from. I h...

I have tried a Derby blade in an English Tech with aluminium base plate and handle. Also a Dorco ST-301 blade in a "Travel Tech," M1, using a Feather Portable handle in lieu of the 2-in. aluminum handle it came with. Both work very nicely, thank you. I tried Dorco ST-300's in both, but have decided ...

Saturday PM: Slim adjustable, N4, set at 3 Dorco 300 blade, 2nd shave Old Spice regular in the can Meijer witch hazel. The slim provides better and more shaves from the Dorco 300 blade than any other razor in the inventory. No more 300's, however, after the few left in the sample pack are gone. This...

Thursday afternoon: Super Speed, X2 Dorco 300 Blade Old Spice regular in the can. witch hazel This was after soaking my face in the water for 22 minutes during a swimming workout.

I returned to DE shaving earlier this year after doing some research and stumbling accross the Today show segment. A NOS 1967 "Travel Tech" was given to me years ago as a present and then put away. Even now, struggling with the 2 In. handle, it gave great shaves with the NOS Wilkinson UK blades I fo...
