I’m thinking of acquiring a Gillette Tech razor. Is there anything I should know to help me choose? Are some years better than others? I just need a few pointers so ill be aware of what I’m buying.
Thanks a Rusty. The fat handles didn't appeal to me aesthetically right off the bat. some say Gillette on the top of the cap. Some older, some newer. What’s with that?
According to the Tech wiki, models after 1962 have zamak heads. Note that this refers to the Gillette for the zamak heads being embossed, not etched. An etched Gillette does not indicate zamak. I think I read somewhere that here might be some WWII Techs with zamak heads.Is the quality and thickness of the metals in the head the same for all of them?
I'm not sure that the open combs are actually Techs.Somehow, the open combs look almost prehistoric. I have a few open combs. Not really a necessary feature for my general shaving needs.
Those had horrendous alignment issues for my use. I won’t look back.Somehow, the open combs look almost prehistoric. I have a few open combs. Not really a necessary feature for my general shaving needs.
