Just like Wolfman is to a Tech right?

Not really.
The Gillette Tech is a classic, has stood the test of time and will always be regarded as a fine shaving instrument for it's time and generations to come.
The BBS-1 (and then later the WR2) were developed from the Tech design, but the Lupo is based on the WR1.
Here’s a picture of the BBS-1 prototypes

No, there are two different Wolfman DE designs that are being conflated.

I know, only the WR1 (and maybe the guerilla) looks like the Tech.
Which came first and paved the way for $600 versions?

I remember the Wolfman razors going for 200$ or possible even less, but after some time and high praises from its fan base, the price on their razors have skyrocketed. Whatever it's justified or not it's a whole another story though.Which came first and paved the way for $600 versions?
It’s the WR2 that’s based on the Tech.

Oh yeah, i've got it backwards, my bad.
Yeah. I remember when they first came on scene, as I took note being a Canadian.
Prices were high then, maybe double a Feather ($100). Now they seem to have ballooned. Good for him I guess.
Don't forget about the English Personna "BBS-0" (as it was dubbed), which is reported to be the inspiration for the BBS-1. 
The Personna is a wonderful razor that provides superb shaves.

When it come to the 3 pc razors that Gillette designed, there have been numerous copy's of his 3pc razors & razor blades and there will always be some small tweaks or twists to them and even great improvements to some models possibly. Human nature to take other company's or individual ideas and make them work for profit hopefully is a big factor.

Hmmm was the Henson inspired by the personna?
Unknown. I can state that (on my face, skin and beard) the Personna is more efficient, smoother (zero drag) and much more effective than my Henson Al13 Medium.

Talking about Henson, this company had a similar design way before Personna or Henson & was patented.

Wow...that's a pretty close copy of the Lupo!
Wow. Good to know. This is quite helpful. I’ll continue my search for a Personna!
