It's kind of buried in Gillette's product page, but I found it very interesting that they are 3D printing these handles at their Boston HQ.

It really looks like the 1969 version, LOL.

Just get a vintage Techmatic. They're not hard to find.

I don't think Gillette claims anywhere they were trying to make a replica of the 1969 model. It is clear they were not.

Razor Maker is a line of limited edition razors that feature 3D printed handles in several different themes. This is Gillette's first space-themed one.

I generally support products like these (even if I don't need them) because the more that the public are reminded of space history, the better.
