Razor Id Please

[Mike Smart]

Guys can you please identify & rough dates of these please
I know the last one is a Tech and i’m thinking 60’s but it’s a guess.
The one next to the Tech is a wilkinson sword
other than that i’m clueless.
Thanks in advance

1 and 2 are Gillette Super Slim Twist or Knack if American. There's a letter and date on the underside to date them to a specific quarter of year of production. Amazing what you learn after a few weeks on here - kudos to @Palmolive fox for pointing me to this when I signed up https://www.razoremporium.com/gillette-date-codes-serial-numbers/#:~:text=Gillette Date Codes were used,the quarter of the year.

The Tech on the right is all aluminium with the zamak cap Tech, I have the same razor and it's my second best razor in my ever growing arsenal.
Funny thing is it was the cheapest lol, go figure.

I can’t see any S4 on the Tech but i might get it once i clean them up

I only owned fat handled heavy razors before I got mine and it felt like a needle in my hand or a toy from a Christmas cracker lol
If you are in a hurry to go out somewhere nice and need to shave quickly without the stress of cuts and razor burn, then this is the razor I would reach for IMOP
I would say it's a fairly mild razor and cuts and nics are not a problem as this razor is very very forgiving even when pressure is applied with it, unless your blade is terrible.

The S4 is only for dating and the 4 means it was made in the fourth quarter of the year and the S is for the year 1972, your razor will probably have a different letter and number on it.
If you can find these then we can tell you the year and quarter it was made.

We'd need to see the cap on the Tech as there were two distinct stamps marking earlier (1960s) and later (1970s) versions of that particular variant.

Here’s the cap

Later period, then ... definitely look for the date code on the underside of the baseplate. That will tell you exactly.

I can’t see any other identifications. once iv gave it all good clean up hopefully it will become apparent
