This arrived in my mail box several weeks ago. I have been having so much fun using at as one of my "first string" rotators that I haven't had a chance to post about it.
As the box attests, this is an old school Tech. But how "old" school. The neo-western graphics bespeak of the hippy-western 1970's or late '60's. You know, that whole Butch Cassidy-Kenny Rogers-Kenny Loggins feel? ("I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in").
And I have seen this box described as everything from '30's to '50's vintage.
But yet, this item curiously came packaged with a New Short Comb head along with the Tech head.
So...
Was that an original offering from Gillette, comb and no-comb in one nifty package?
Is the handle (nicely 8g heavier than a standard new) proper for the Tech or the New head?
(I also learned that there is 8g difference in weight with the comb head being that much heavier than the Tech head.)
Thanks for any feedback you care to give!! So much to learn.
