Please help to identify Tech

[gdepotter]

Hi all,

I picked this up today. I tried to find it on Mr Razor website, but couldn't find it.
The box says Gillette Montreal Canada, the razor itself has "made in England".
Hopefully someone can identify and roughly date it, that would be great.

Thank you all for your help

Looks like a spiral aluminum Gillette Tech. British made circa 1970's.

It´s a Canadian Tech set from the early 60s. The razor is nickel plated and has a weight of 61.5g. The set comes with a Dispenser of 4 Super Blue Blades Made in Canada

His razor says "Made in England". He says it weighs 64g. Similar but different.

Thank you for the info Mr Razor.
I think that's exactly it. Mine's 64g,but that might be my kitchen scale that's slightly off.
Do you know if it was common for Canadian Techs to be made in England?

Canadian sets comes with both razors: Made in England and Made in Canada. My Tech is Made in England too.

Not 70s. As Achim said that's probably early 60s. My guess is it could even be late 50s. Open the blades if it comes with any and tell us the letter code.

It came with 2 tucks of Gillette Blue blades.
One tuck has the code P1, the other P4.

Thank you

I'm unsure those blades came originally with the razor though, because the seller also included a tuck of vintage "Nymph" blades.
