History from Badger and Blade When the Gillette Techmatic entered the market place in 1965, it galvanized its major competitor, the Schick Safety Razor Co.,to produce a similar line of product. So 1966 saw the introduction of the Schick "Auto-Band" razor,which was very similar to the Gillette Techmatic. The two razors were very similar in appearance. The main difference between the Schick Auto-Band and the Gillette Techmatic was in the blade cartridge. The Techmatic had a winder mechanism built into the razor with a cog that seated itself in the blade cartridge, while the Auto-Band had the winder built into the blade cartridge itself. Both cartridges also eventually incorporated controlsto vary the angle of the blade from low to high for a custom shave, although the original Gillette cartridge did not have this feature.The Schick blade angle lever is on the side of the cartridge, while the Gillette lever is on the front where the Schick winding lever is.The real trick was that the Schick cartridge would fit into a Gillette Techmatic, but the Techmatic cartridge would not fit into theSchick Auto-Band because it could not be wound. By the early 1970's band razors saw themselves losing ground, with the introduction of the twin bladed TRAC IIin 1971 likely sounding the final death knell.
