Travel Razor ?s

[Bloodhound]

Did Gillette make other travel sets besides the Techs?

Is there any head differences between the Travel and the standard Tech heads.

And show me your travel razors...

Here is mine

The travel tech heads are a bit flatter, and therefore slightly more aggressive.

Define travel set.
If you mean short handles for smaller travel size,
They made tuckaways, and miladys.

and then there were rarer things like the tiffany set,

and this thing.

I have some mid 60's travel techs and they all have "marcas regs" on them, and "Gillette" on the top (not in a diamond). My other ball end techs have neither date codes, name on top or marcas regs.

Since they were made for a long long time, I am sure there is a wide variety of techs that are completely different than both of these types.

Where do you get this information?
My experience is that the "Travel Tech" heads are exactly the same as those supplied with the long handles and made at the same time.

Gillette made many travel sets and not all had short handles. Included are

The ABC pocket set
The military khaki set
Several versions of the Milady
The Traveler
The Tuckaway
The Norfolk
and I'm sure there are others I can't think of for now.

Here are my favorites.
