Would you pay big bucks for a mint Gillette Tech?

[Dave-the-rave]

If it's the one on the wooden rail it's not close to mint condition.
The buyer would be disappointed at that price, birth year or not.

No, I bought a near mint Gillette Aristocrat Adjustable for the same price.

Agreed. I own several mint and at least two unused Gillette Techs. I paid between $4 - $20 each.

If you want it, go for it.

Would I pay that amount for a Tech? No, but I'm not the one shopping.

If you want it, I say go for it. The combination that its your birth year razor and its in near flawless condition makes it rare.
Yes, Techs are common and easy to find but that isnt just any Tech.

I like Techs, but that sounds high. I paid less than that for a mint 1960 Fatboy.

I found one in similar condition for $32 for Shaving Mercantile. My wife's birth year too.

No.
