76 Gillette Tech made in México

I always liked the English aluminum handles on Techs, not the ball type but the cilynder ones, but never found an English Tech at a good price.

This weekend visiting old pawn shops I found this beauty in perfect condition, made in México with date code W3 which on US Gillette Codes matches 76

It just needed a cleaning, dissinfection and polish to get it right. I am going to use it this week but I already know the results, smooth comfortable shave.

Wow that's a great find! I agree on the handle - ascetically I'm just not a fan of the ball end razors.

76 happens to be my birth year and I lived in Mexico for a couple of years. If you ever decide to move on from it, please hit me up.
 
Very nice Tech! I'd wish that Mexican Gillettes would turn up more often.

(& remembering the great times I had in Tulum/Mexico)

Thanks all, today I tried it with a NOS Gillette Platinum Plus also made in Mexico (I believe it's from the 80s) and as expected a smooth shaver.
