What is the origin of the name "Tech?" Does it mean "technology?" Or something else?
I understand the Gillette Tech, which had a noteworthy run from 1939 into the 1970's, was marketed as a major technological advancement in razor design. It was a very simple and inexpensive razor. I consider the Gillette Tech to be the Volkswagen Beetle of DE razors, and that's meant as a compliment. The technological advances, I understand, were:
A diamond indented guard plate, which gave the blade improved support and rigidity
A non-skid tread on the newly-designed closed comb safety bar
A new head design that was quick and easy to clean, and that resisted clogging
A newly designed closed-comb safety guard, a first in the history of Gillette's razors, that offered improved comfort
Do these engineering improvements that gave birth to the Gillette Tech razor parallel your understandings? Or are there others that might be listed?
