The almost sort of Comprehensive Guide to the Gillette Tech

thank you sir ,was an important one for me to find .my grandad was R.A.F. during ww2 in burma.he may have had one..

 

the "made in england" and "gillette" insignia are below the bar pins on the service set and above the bar pins on common ones,they also have more post war type safety guards than the more common flat bottom techs..

 

#27 sets.common baseplate-1948..

 

Here is a Nacet branded open comb Tech.

 

cool score..that open guard looks very similar to the sheraton design..

 

2 not so common British Tech razors.

First one is referred to as a hybrid tech by collectors. The actual name of the razor as given to it by Gillette is a heavy-type. Set number is No. 40 and the date of 1947 is corroborated by this advert.


The next is a 4 piece tech, handle style is called a telescopic handle. Set it was sold in was a No 26 in 1946.

 

ndc canadian tech with rare brit handle..

 

no, I´ve the same set, but no informations about it.

 

ok sir ,thank you.

 

Great razor.

 

thank you Jon....

 

the case is from a 1959 gold one piece presentation set..

 

#26 4 piece tech set..

 

That's a beauty!

 

thank you Keith.

 

oh probably ,zamak as well.one of the early ones before the base plate change up.i meant engraved instead of etched..

 

i suspect the wrong blades.they are english and not french made.i have a j-2 stamped u.s tech set in box with the zamak cap and updated base plate.travel set as well nos.so your dates make sense..
