This was one of the most produced razors by Gillette, known for its mild shaves. Most people have at least tried one at some time or another. It comes in a few different varieties of handle,color, and even a travel model too. A simple well made product that has stood the test of time! I recently picked up a ball-end Tech.;)
I really like the Gillette Tech, it's a workhorse! Mine is the ball-end gold-plated??? kind, nothing fancy but gets the job done and it's quite pleasant to use.
Hello, Muguser:
I have several Gillettes models, but only two Techs and both fat handle. Yes, the shave is mild, but good and comfortable. The Tech was a popular model and, as you note, many were produced. Until I acquire another Tech model and test it, I suppose, the fat handle Tech has to be my favorite.
Regards,

My favorite Tech, a birth year Ball End Tech made the 4th quarter of 1962 (same as me). Unfortunately, he seems to have aged much more gracefully than I have. Definitely not my most aggressive shaver but it seems to deliver consistent comfortable shaves

The Fat Handle Tech was my first DE and it sits like a war hero on my razor shelf. Since it was my first, I have a bias. I should have it bronzed.
I have only tried one, a ball end tech made in the 60's I think. Its and excellent shaver.
ok all the safety razors i have used.. my all time favourite is a 1959 ball end tech..
My favorite Tech is my Gold Fat Handle, which was produced sometime between 1946 and 1951. Nice, smooth shaver, and I was fortunate enough to find one that has all of the finish left on it. For a slightly more aggressive shave, my pre-'46 Ball End Tech is great, as well.
My favorite Tech is a 1932 made in Canada fat handle. I also really like the 1950's ball end tech's for a little more mild shave.
