Gillette Brazilian Tech Set

[GeorgeSa19]

Hello everybody! How is it going?
I recently got a vintage Gillette Tech razor (or should I say "barbeador"?) made in Brazil, which I didn't know these models were made in there as well.
Pretty good condition and it even has the manual instruction in Portuguese.
Here, take a look:

So what do you think? Have you guys ever seen or owned one of these sets?

Greetings!

I haven't used it yet, but It has the same head as a British Ball End Tech that I have and let me tell you, It gave me one of the smoothers shaves I've ever had. Just amazing!
I'll clean it up just a bit to make it function and I'll try it!

Sounds good. Let us know what you think of it. Nice score BTW!

Unfortunately not, It's a shame though.

I've had them before, they shave as you would expect, excellent! After all, it's a Tech.

No date code is a good thing...they are my faves

I have a very similar set from Argentina. The difference is that mine is a Ball End Tech. It was NOS when I got it. I used the razor a couple of times and it shaved wonderfully. It definitely has a place in anyone's collection.

Yes, they are wonderful! Since I'm from Argentina it's very easy to find razors made here.
Although I haven't got any ball end sets, I've seen them around and It won't be long till I get one.

I strongly recommend it. Do you live in Argentina currently?
