I'm about to receive a Gillette Tech 'fat handle' and I wanted to ask around if heads from different vintage Gillette razors of the 1920's, 1930's and beyond can fit into that handle? I have an open comb 'old style' so I will give it a try (but find it a little too aggressive).
Gillette Techs, Old, New etc...Heads?

Yes, they should all fit fine.
Hi,
And a whole boatload of non Gillette razors to boot. Here is Pre War Tech handle on a Fasan:
And, then the Ball End handles and the Bar handles and so on. All interchange.

Ok so please bring in more recommendations ! I have three vintage heads see pictures. From top to bottom, old style open comb, in the middle an open comb that must be more recent, but can’t date it, which I like a lot as not too aggressive. The one to the bottom for now doesn’t work for at all ( too much blade exposed) which disappoints me as I thought it would milder than open comb. Any more vintage ones I can try and if you know of modern ones that fit please pass along.

Found this interesting
do they all perform the same way or did the design change over the years?

Many people report that the pre war tech with the triangular lather slots is a little more aggressive. I would look here for a more comprehensive record of Gillette razors.
