A Flat Bottom Tech (and of course a Hybrid) are definitely on my "keep a look out for" list.
I have a 50's model Made in England Tech that I'm told was for French distribution that weighs in at 57grams.

Fat Handle or Ball End Handle?
Thin Handle
Date of a French Tech Made in Britain?
Finally getting around to making a file with all my razor information and realized I have no idea the date range on this Tech. Was told it is a French set made in Britain. Anyone have a clue about the date range?

Most cool. One of my English Flat Bottom Techs came with the Thin Handle.

I think so - it amazes me too because the Thin Handle is HEAVY.
My two Fat Handle Tech handles weigh in at 23g each. The Thin Handle handle weighs 31g.
These things were mass produced over quite a period of time so differences, even among the same type, can be found. My current Tech, the one I have kept from many, is an English 50's all brass Tech which shaves sublime. It shaves as well as my Game Changer .68 OC. Both give me astounding comfortable close shaves.
I'm not saying those 50's brass English Techs are the best. I'm saying mine is, compared to the many others I have tried.
Even modern razors can have differences. My GC .68 SB base plate isn't quite right. It feels and sounds different on one side and I can't see anything wrong with it. The OC transforms it into a smoother and closer shave.

And a 60-70 gram handle on a Tech transforms it's efficiency.
I have a British made Tech made out of aluminum. It was my first razor and still gives me great shaves even after almost 10 years of ownership. I also have a Ball End Tech made in Argentina that feels like solid brass. It also shaves like a boss.
The Tech is my MOST used razor.
I’ve got 3 of them I use in rotation.
Admittedly I don’t know the details about them like other gents here do.
But I do know that they’re my favorite Gillette razor. Seriously! I would like to acquire a couple more, maybe through eBay....

I like the 1950s and 60s ball end ones the most.
Don’t need an ultrasonic cleaner. Soak it in Dawn. Scrub it. Scrub it again w toothpaste. Shave
