Hello everyone. I need your help because I'm a bit confused. I got offer for Gillette Tech, but I have my doubts. There is no inscription at the top and nothing at the bottom. And the handle looks too glamorous against the head. The handle looks like British ball end but head don't match. At least that's how it seems to me. What do you think?
Is this Gillette Tech razor?

It looks like one, but that company has loved self-identification from day one, so it could be a charming copy from days gone by. I apologize for being able to provide more than assumptions for my answer.
Handle original Gillette, head replica. IMHO
Ditto. If it doesn't have the Gillette logo on the baseplate, it isn't a Tech. The head looks like a fairly close clone of a later model tech head (60's-70's).
It is not a Gillette Tech.
Looks like a knockoff head (China, Pakistan, or India) on either an original ball end or a modern knockoff handle. Is the handle aluminum or heavier (possibly brass)? There are both aluminum and brass handle knockoffs on the market currently. The head is not Gillette, without the Gillette markings. There are currently at least 6 Tech head copies on the market today. One is the Super Blue from China, which is supposed to be a genuine Gillette product. The Chinese Super Blue shaves the same as the last US produced Techs from the 70's and early 80's. Your razor will most likely shave just fine, so don't worry about it.
