  • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Gillette Tech
  • Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (1)
  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber - Soap
  • Post Shave: Brut - Brut - Splash On
  • Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Kelp & Sea Mineral - Lotion

This blade is an older "Israeli Red". Edgewell moved their Platinum Chrome operation to Germany 3 or 4 years ago. I used a German one yesterday and enjoyed that shave more, but I also used a different razor so I can't say for certain if one is better than the other.

I'm car travelling and packed my Tech inside the plastic case that one of my Baili BR171 razors came in. It's a really great travel option despite being just a cheap plastic shell.
