EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

I wanted to show my shaving EDC (or I suppose every 3 or so days). About a year ago I switched to the old school way of shaving. A straight razor and a vintage Gillette Tech Razor. I line my facial hair/beard thing up with the straight razor, which allows me to cut the lines straight and do exactly what I want to do, and then I do the bulk areas with the double edge razor. I often do one more pass over most of it with the straight razor as well because it cuts so dang close to the skin and my face feels baby smooth afterwards. They started making these Gillette Tech Razors sometime in the 1940's (not sure on the exact date), and from my understanding, have been making them (unchanged) ever since. You can't buy a new Tech Razor in the US anymore, but I understand that they still sell it under a different name in another country. The best thing is you can find these original Tech Razors for like $30 on Ebay in perfect condition! Mine is from the 40's, or possibly 50's, from my understanding. Get yourself a double edge razor, and a straight razor that you can change the blades, as well as a pack of razors for each and you can shave for a very long time with very little cost!

And this is what I wish I shaved with. I haven't leveled up yet to using a real old school straight razor that I need to sharpen. I got this old vintage one on Ebay as well, I don't know much about it exact that it's stamped as Blue Steel and has an awesome patina. I've tried shaving with it, but I need to do some more work to get the edge where I want it.

Been a long time since seeing an old gulf sign.
Nice old straight razor. Those are all I use on my face. I have a barber straight that uses half a double edge blade, but that is a blood letting for sure.
I tried the straight for shaving my head. Blood was flowing like a river. I leave the head shaving with a straight to the pros. Head shaving is disposable triple blade.
