Just received this as a birthday gift! A NOS Canadian Gillette Tech, altough inside it says, "Made In England." Anyway, the handle is heavy, which tells me it is full nickel (some of these handles are aluminum, and very light). Looking forward to giving it a try with these old Gillette blades. I have one other Tech, a ball end, that I have used twice, and it gave me a very good shave, and I suspect this one will do the same. Now I have two DE razors, so I will probably give one away, most likely the ball end since this one was a gift. I shave with straights (8 total), but I guess I will through in the DE from time to time. Needless to say, I feel fortunate and am thankful for so many reasons.
