I used my Techmatic on the 20th for the 50th anniversary, I only acquired it about a month ago in a razor lot so this was my 2nd use. I had no problem with the blade and I was surprised how nimble and intuitive the razor is to use. It did a fine job set in default middle aggressiveness setting. No clogging with shaving soap, I'm not a fan of brushless creams anyway.
you probably dont give a damn but does someone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
Cool old school Shaving video to Outer space with Aqua Velva , thanks for showing that clip Senior Sinatralenn. Have fun with your Family on the Trip Sir 👍👍👍👍
I recently got a Techmatic since I also heard it was used on Apollo 11 (and it was cheap lol). I find that mine shaves pretty well and I enjoy using it. I also like the look of the razor, looks kind of futuristic in an old-fashioned way if that makes sense. Maybe you'll get a better result with a NOS cartridge. Thanks for the great video as always 🙂
Totally 70's look and doesn't give a great shaves but it was the first razor to land on the moon. Just for that it's awesome to be own from one of this razors and at the same time be linked yourself to the moon landing history. Really cool huh? Have you and your family a nice holidays. Great video as always.
The intro took me right back to grade school. I didn’t use Aqua Velva because I thought I wouldn’t like how it smelled. I was wrong. Love me some Aqua Velva. Thanks for the entertaining video.
I was born the last day the Apollo 11 crew was in space before returning to Earth and my Mom always told me she watched all the coverage in the hospital waiting to deliver me. So I’ve always had a fascination with NASA, most especially Apollo 11.
I remember the Techmatic TV commercials..they were animated!! I wasn’t quite old enough to shave when it came out, but I liked the animated “talking” Techmatic..
I didn't think when I clicked this vid in my subscription feed and at first I was like "wait what am I watching? wait a minute I recognize that voice!" Holy crap, your voice was awesome along with that 40's/50's style interlude music. I wish like people would hire you to do commercial in that fashion. I've probably said it before but I'm very into 40's and 50's stuff. The majority of my favorite artists are from that time period.
I love that time period too! I’d love to go back to around 1959 and watch history unfold over the next few years. People do sometimes hire me to do their voiceovers! That’s my job!
Love the Aqua Velva description ‘Grandpa in a bottle’ 😆. As a member on thr Badger and Blade shaving forums once mentioned, Aqua Velva Blue makes you smell over 35. Aqua Vevla Sport makes you smell under 35. Top aftershave either way!
I'm just glad the shaving cream is gluten-free😉 Ben Franklin, I'd forgotten about it (we had one in my hometown--always fun to go there because you never knew quite what you'd find...it was a pretty big store as I remember it anyway).
Don't know if it was a matter of the astronauts not liking facial hair so much as (with firefighters and pilots) the fact that oxygen masks had to be worn, and facial hair interferes with the tight seal required for maximum efficiency of the mask.
This razor gave birth to the "Injection " single blade type in the late 60's. Schick came out with it and my Dad used them. He taught me how to shave my face when I was 10 years old, Great memories . Yes, he used Old Spice shaving soap and mug. The razor had a black handle with a brass color head. There was also an adjustable type with a small black dial on it. The regular type is on amazon ,made in China and have bad reviews. The adjustable type I see on e-bay, there used and pricey.
The reason Gillette developed the Techmatic was for the astronauts so they could shave without having any loose blades to worry about the disposal of the dull ones. Also, people say they don't like the shave from this razor because in most part they are purchasing these off of Ebay, Amazon, etc., and not realizing that most of the bands are at the end of the cycle. When the indicator says 1, it's on the last good band. They always start at 10 or 5 depending which band you purchase.
Yeah, mine was unused on 5 and I have those three 10 blade refills. I need to use one of those to see if it shaves better. I like this razor and I’ll bet that I can get a better shave out of it.
It shaves so Great, really close n smooth 👍👍👍 great razor. ❤ i use mine as often i can. ☺😊 and u can use Proraso shavingcream 'brushless' too. The angle is everything to that razor. Dont give up on it.
I have been really looking forward to this vid as a big space race geek! I’ve thought about buying one of these just to have as a display piece and now I think I will. Thanks for the vid and gotta love that intro! Ps have you tried America one 31 aftershave? Apparently it was JFKs favourite aftershave.
SinatraLennon Over here in the uk they go cheap on eBay but the replacement cartridges are insanely expensive! Yep the America one 31 cologne is very very expensive and beyond my means but I treated myself to a 2ml sample because hey! Who doesn’t want to smell like JFK once in their life!
I loved those Techmatic razors till Gillette quit selling the cartridges . They were adjustable and modern for the era. I haven't shaved with one in many years, maybe I'll pick one up on Ebay and shave with one again for old times
Hey, Mr. Ross, have you ever tried the Parker Variant? It's a really nice adjustable safety razor. It's in a tight race with my Rockwell for the number 1 spot (currently held by the Variant). While it's a two-piece razor, I think you would enjoy it.
Bryan, that is a lot of money for that Techmatic back then ! The only reason I still keep and occasionally use a Gillette Fusion razor is for travel. One time when my wife and I went on vacation they lost our bags, and it was nice to at least have some type of razor for the first couple days of our vacation. But it's kind of ridiculous how high the price is for a 5-pack of Fusion blades!! ...I just picked up 100 Gillette Silver Blue Stainless double-edge blades on eBay for something like $13! Take care!
Adjusted for inflation, it's really not that bad compared to a standard modern 5 blade cartridge razor with refills. To a modern old school shaver, that's astronomical, but for the average consumer, not much has changed.
Also vivatar. Is a good. Electric razor check them out Sinatra. Ok buddy again take care your pal Jeffrey see you next week im hooked on watching this stuff is good
I remember my dad having one of those, but never using it. It was one of those things that's always in a bathroom, but, as a kid, you never figure out what's it for.
Hey just thought I'd ask this but I really coarse facial hair I'll can find in oklahoma is cvs and walgreens blades and Vander Hagen blades well I picked the van Der Hagen blades the do ok at best I thought about picking some bic blades if got info on what to try please let me know thanks it would be appreciated and I use barbasol lol
Thank you for the suggestion I really do appreciate it if there any other brand you think I should try I'll just order a build your own variety pack of safety razor blades
It went even better than I thought it would I’ve found my problem it wasn’t what I was shaving with it was how I was shaving I need lots of water on my face and neck
I watched a vid of the astronaut shaving in space....he was PUSHING hard! Maybe that is what's needed to make it work. Wonder what happens if you get a cut in the moon.....
Brave Shave, SL. Rust on the blade??? I'm going to date myself, I watched the moon landing with my girlfriend in her apartment! Have a great and safe weekend.
Great shave! 😊 This was probably the start of the cartridge plastic not environmentally friendly shaving crap. The intentions were probably good but that plastic thingi can’t really be recycled. That’s why I like DE safety razors. Even if you would throw the blade in the nature (which I throw in metal recycling) it will rust and brake down. Not so with plastic.
Well, that razor was underwhelming. It did look so cool with all the bells and whistles. Also, the voyages of Sinatra Lennon. Shaving where no man has shaved before. Huh.. is this you setting yourself up for a shave in an odd place? Hmm!
Hi Sinatra how are you im ok im taking medication. For my problems. So hope you are doin good again im Jeffrey. Have a good day buddy just pray for me ok i like Gillette razors i got a flex ball one came in a braun trimmers kit its good try out electric razors buy 2 or 4 of the best braun phillips norelco rotary. Maybe remington razors are slow but also the phillps one blade is good i own a bunch of them also Gillette i got ok buddy nice videos
So was that the first disposable razor? Need a to be drinking a cup of Tang if they still make it. Never thought about astronauts shaving, probably like most people it was how did they go to the bathroom.
This is a cool video.....just to commemorate MY birthday.......... MY advice: one- the cream was too thick.....almost need to put half what you put but then rub it in with water in your hands......otherwise it's sticky and useless. 2- this is like an Atra or Mach....put tome pressure when you shave....it ain't a DE....... Where did this razor come from: another old hoarder , later died and the grandkids just sold his old gear on ebay.. Same $hit gonna happen with our stuff......
Have you seen the documentary 'Apollo 11' which found a ton a fresh 70mm footage of the launch. The whole thing is only told with audio from the era, it really is the closest anyone who didn't experience could get to watching it. No historians, no talking heads, just pristine footage that looks like it was shot yesterday. ua-cam.com/video/eb_qTKXmc34/v-deo.html
S.H.A.V.E. This is called the Phonetic Alphabet, the military uses this all the time. The police force uses a slight different version. To clean out the head use hot running water instead of using a bowl.
You went trough the blade bands faster than the rocket that took them to space. 🤣 It is not a super agressive razor, mild, as many other Gillette Techs. But you should not have given up on it to soon. Use it more, get the angle right. I have used blades from 1964 still sharp, blade/band from 1970 should still be sharp, they are stainless, or coated. I gave you a 👎 for giving up on it. But i liked the video anyway. 😉 I still use mine now and then because it is a special razor from a time long gone.
❤️👍 not too hard. It could be that the blade is old or coating is gone, not stored right. Up to you. I loved that you used a brushless cream that had almost simular look to it as the old, old spice they used in space. Fantastic 👌
The original "birth" of the cartridge razor, not so good.🙄 You're going to have that "Jimmy Neutron" hair style again shortly😉 Too bad the shave wasn't better, being a tribute to Apollo 11. Better luck next time. Enjoy!
I had a lot of luck with the new cartridge in my Techmatic. Great tribute to Apollo 11👍👍💈
Oh really?! Cool, I’ll have to try one of mine that’s still in the package. Thanks again for the inspiration!

It’s a great, classic smell isn’t it?!
Great video and history lesson, I loved the intro!
Thanks!
Was looking forward to this video :)
Me too!
One of the first razors I ever shaved with. Going to find one just to have as a memory of my youth.
I was born the last day the Apollo 11 crew was in space before returning to Earth and my Mom always told me she watched all the coverage in the hospital waiting to deliver me. So I’ve always had a fascination with NASA, most especially Apollo 11.
I've recently purchased yet another Slim Adjustable, now I have one for display and one for use. It delivers next Wednesday. Can't wait.
I remember the Techmatic TV commercials..they were animated!! I wasn’t quite old enough to shave when it came out, but I liked the animated “talking” Techmatic..
I didn't think when I clicked this vid in my subscription feed and at first I was like "wait what am I watching? wait a minute I recognize that voice!"
Holy crap, your voice was awesome along with that 40's/50's style interlude music. I wish like people would hire you to do commercial in that fashion. I've probably said it before but I'm very into 40's and 50's stuff. The majority of my favorite artists are from that time period.
I love that time period too! I’d love to go back to around 1959 and watch history unfold over the next few years. People do sometimes hire me to do their voiceovers! That’s my job!
So interesting, i like how you talk very naturally, calm and funny hahah great job
Thanks!
Genuinely interesting razor and shave today. Never thought about astronauts shaving before.
If you had, I’d have been surprised!
Love the Aqua Velva description ‘Grandpa in a bottle’ 😆. As a member on thr Badger and Blade shaving forums once mentioned, Aqua Velva Blue makes you smell over 35. Aqua Vevla Sport makes you smell under 35. Top aftershave either way!
Ha! Great way to categorize those scents. Good stuff all around.
Mission accomplished! Now go have some Tang!
Ha!
Just had Tang and had beef stew and banana pudding to match up with Neil Armstrong's dinner on day 4 of the mission.
Nice razor! Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us in the future
Good stuff, good stuff.
SinatraLennon oh yes sir!
I'm just glad the shaving cream is gluten-free😉 Ben Franklin, I'd forgotten about it (we had one in my hometown--always fun to go there because you never knew quite what you'd find...it was a pretty big store as I remember it anyway).
Yeah, I like my food gluten-full!
Wow!! Good history!
Don't know if it was a matter of the astronauts not liking facial hair so much as (with firefighters and pilots) the fact that oxygen masks had to be worn, and facial hair interferes with the tight seal required for maximum efficiency of the mask.
I think that it was the clean cut nature of the military men and the style of the time as well as your astute explanation. A combination of factors.
This razor gave birth to the "Injection " single blade type in the late 60's. Schick came out with it and my Dad used them. He taught me how to shave my face when I was 10 years old, Great memories . Yes, he used Old Spice shaving soap and mug. The razor had a black handle with a brass color head. There was also an adjustable type with a small black dial on it.

Great show tonight... 👌👍
Thanks!
That story of when you, your brothers, and step dad were younger was great :D don't have many of those kinds of stories no more :(
nice demo
Cool bit of history man!
Isn’t it though? There’s tons of these on eBay all the time.
Beautiful shave there boss
Thanks Will!

Ps have you tried America one 31 aftershave? Apparently it was JFKs favourite aftershave.
Glad you liked it! There are tons of these to be had on eBay. Don’t pay too much. Maybe $10 or so. Haven’t tried the JFK cologne!

Yep the America one 31 cologne is very very expensive and beyond my means but I treated myself to a 2ml sample because hey! Who doesn’t want to smell like JFK once in their life!
Awesome intro man!
That was beautiful!
Like that intro?!
@@SinatraLennon I felt like I was back in the 60's for a minute. Thank you for that!
Good video as always. For the first time I bought the osage rub u highly talked about. And I love it! Just need to get the menthol crystals. 👍👍😃
It’s a unique and pleasurable experience!
This Morning I Bought on Ebay I Bought a 1965 Gillette Techmatic it Comes with The Original Case and the original instructions And it Costed Me $11
I could get used to you reviewing peculiar razors on your Channel.
Gotta find some more!
Nice intro;) I'm using Schick disposable razor's two blades plus lubricating strip, And i'm getting a better shave plus the razor is lasting longer!!!
Great!
Very cool 👍🏻😁
Hey sinatra,, nice intro to techmatic razor.... Nice
Thanks!
I loved those Techmatic razors till Gillette quit selling the cartridges . They were adjustable and modern for the era. I haven't shaved with one in many years, maybe I'll pick one up on Ebay and shave with one again for old times
Try it out!
Enjoyed the video.
Thanks!
Your welcome.

I haven’t! Now I’m intrigued.
@@SinatraLennon I'd be happy to LOAN you mine if you'd like to try it.
Having used the techmatic, not recently but when last used? works better with the tin goo rather than the shaving cream.
I’ll try it again with lathered shaving cream.
great and fun video, oh i own a brushless Old Spice...i found it on E-bay
I tried to find some to no avail.
$3.00 in 1972 Is the equivalent of spending $18.34 in today's money. So Techmatics were hardly cheap.
Sorry.. the nerd in me had to research it. 😁
I love using the inflation calculator! Yeah, not cheap at all.
Bryan, that is a lot of money for that Techmatic back then ! The only reason I still keep and occasionally use a Gillette Fusion razor is for travel. One time when my wife and I went on vacation they lost our bags, and it was nice to at least have some type of razor for the first couple days of our vacation. But it's kind of ridiculous how high the price is for a 5-pack of Fusion blades!! ...I just picked up 100 Gillette Silver Blue Stainless double-edge blades on eBay for something like $13! Take care!
A high price back then. When I was in college real (bigger than today's) Dannon yogurts were under 50 cents apiece.
Adjusted for inflation, it's really not that bad compared to a standard modern 5 blade cartridge razor with refills. To a modern old school shaver, that's astronomical, but for the average consumer, not much has changed.
Do you still have this razor and extra cartridges or did you already give them away in one of your give away contests?
Ah man, I thought for sure you were gonna use the vintage brushless barbasol.
Not yet!
The pre-cursor to the first cartridge razor
Also, it is not intended for heavier beards. The blade gap is very narrow and the band is thicker than a DE blade.
Pretty cool. The original cartridge razor.
Going to try gillette mach3 with Barbasol extra moisturizing shave cream
The starting of the video was good
I love watching your videos I’m a big fan from uk
Im in PaulH’s wet head’s group on Facebook and people were talking about Apollo 11 tribute a lot and now I know why lol
Your hair grew quick btw!! 😁✌️
I’ll have to check out that group! Yep, my hair grows like crazy. I’m fortunate to still have it, too. Giant forehead not withstanding.
Very interesting
How'd you get so many refills?!
eBay!
Also vivatar. Is a good. Electric razor check them out Sinatra. Ok buddy again take care your pal Jeffrey see you next week im hooked on watching this stuff is good
I have one somewhere, first razor I ever used, not much use now that you can't get the cartridges
You can still buy the new old stock cartridges on eBay for not much.
What do you need three Techmatic heads for? One for the next moon landing. One for the Mars landing. And, one for the landing TBD.
Exactly! Ya never know.
Thanks for the vid, monday a DE razor I hope? And did you find Scheermonnik yet?
Yup. DE on Monday from an undisclosed northern location. Haven’t found the Scheermonnik.
I remember my dad having one of those, but never using it. It was one of those things that's always in a bathroom, but, as a kid, you never figure out what's it for.
And now you know why he didn’t use it!
Are there 10 blades in each head?
Yes. They come in 10 shave heads and 5 shave heads. It’s one continue ribbon of blade!
closest we ll ever get to the moon X'D
Hey just thought I'd ask this but I really coarse facial hair I'll can find in oklahoma is cvs and walgreens blades and Vander Hagen blades well I picked the van Der Hagen blades the do ok at best I thought about picking some bic blades if got info on what to try please let me know thanks it would be appreciated and I use barbasol lol
Bic blades are great! Try those out if you can.
Thank you for the suggestion I really do appreciate it if there any other brand you think I should try I'll just order a build your own variety pack of safety razor blades
Go on Ebay and Amazon and you will find many good double edge safety razor blades. The sharpest that I have found is Feather brand.
It went even better than I thought it would I’ve found my problem it wasn’t what I was shaving with it was how I was shaving I need lots of water on my face and neck
Great!
I watched a vid of the astronaut shaving in space....he was PUSHING hard! Maybe that is what's needed to make it work. Wonder what happens if you get a cut in the moon.....
I’ll try that! I’m so used to not pressing hard. A cut on the moon? They called that a lunar laceration.
It looks more along the lines of a Injector razor, but they wanted to get rid of the "injector" bit...
Brave Shave, SL. Rust on the blade??? I'm going to date myself, I watched the moon landing with my girlfriend in her apartment!
Have a great and safe weekend.
I was a year away from being born! I’ll bet that I catch up to you in a couple of years...😏
Great shave! 😊 This was probably the start of the cartridge plastic not environmentally friendly shaving crap. The intentions were probably good but that plastic thingi can’t really be recycled. That’s why I like DE safety razors. Even if you would throw the blade in the nature (which I throw in metal recycling) it will rust and brake down. Not so with plastic.
That’s what I was thinking.
How much is this Gillette techmatic on eBay?
Anything from $10 to $40. Don’t pay too much. There are tons of them out there.
SinatraLennon thank you.
Well, that razor was underwhelming. It did look so cool with all the bells and whistles. Also, the voyages of Sinatra Lennon. Shaving where no man has shaved before. Huh.. is this you setting yourself up for a shave in an odd place? Hmm!
Who knows where I’ll be on Monday!
Hi Sinatra how are you im ok im taking medication. For my problems. So hope you are doin good again im Jeffrey. Have a good day buddy just pray for me ok i like Gillette razors i got a flex ball one came in a braun trimmers kit its good try out electric razors buy 2 or 4 of the best braun phillips norelco rotary. Maybe remington razors are slow but also the phillps one blade is good i own a bunch of them also Gillette i got ok buddy nice videos
Thanks Jeffrey!
Ive shaved there..wait..where are you talking about?😂
I remember my dad having one when I was a kid, he would get pissed if I messed with it.. I thought it was cool to turn it when he wasn’t looking
I’ll bet that he didn’t think it was cool when the number was down to one! 😝
For brushless you might like Dr bronners unscentes baby hemp brushless shaving cream
I wandered if they ever said,"Houston We Have A Weeper"probaly not,but would of been funny
Should have used that! Good one.
This is so messy, how did they do this in the space?!
10:12 Thats because the space is outside
So was that the first disposable razor? Need a to be drinking a cup of Tang if they still make it. Never thought about astronauts shaving, probably like most people it was how did they go to the bathroom.
Rumor has it that they used Tang as aftershave.
Stanley Kubrick did a great job filming the moon landings.
Ha!
The razor looks like a vintage vacuum cleaner 😆🤷🏻♀️
Hey, you’re right!
Misspoken, it's not how many shaves indicated just how many new parts of the blade left....each one would get more than one shave.
Yep! Ever tried one?
@@SinatraLennon Nope.
I get about 5-6 shaves with each portion of the blade.
Wow i should buy baseball cards there cool 1960 do you have 2019 cards idk if you can get them at walmart
Hello 👋 Matt 😁 very nice 👍 shaves today brother my friend 😎 I am ilke Nassau Space National 😊 my friend 😁😃😎😊👍
This is a cool video.....just to commemorate MY birthday..........

Good advice! Less is more. I’ll remember that.
Happy Birthday!
So is this the first “cartridge razor “
It might be! I’ll have to do some more research.
Blades could be dulled on purpose to avoid bloodshed in space
Perhaps!
change the settings.

That’s insanity!
The original "birth" of the cartridge razor, not so good.🙄 You're going to have that "Jimmy Neutron" hair style again shortly😉 Too bad the shave wasn't better, being a tribute to Apollo 11. Better luck next time. Enjoy!
Yep, this razor was a failed mission. Glad Apollo 11 wasn’t.
@@SinatraLennon I think it was user error, too much talking and not enough pilot training on the razor.👩🏻🚀
Phonetic alphabet. That's what it's called. It's a military thing lol
Did you have a breakfast of TANG and SPACE FOOD STICKS before or after this shave?
Ha!
Does Aqua Velva really smell like grandpas barbershop?
Yes. Yes it does.
Are you going to Area 51?
Already there, my friend. Already there. 👽
They're called phonetics.
Phonetic alphabet is the term.
Thanks Alex!
2nd!!!
Door prize!
if that's how the Americans shaved in space I wonder how the Russians did it?
Now that’s an interesting idea! Russian razors.
In Russia, razor shaves with a Russian. 😂
