I promised some pics of my British Aristocrats in my earlier thread about my Rockets. My photography skills haven't improved markedly but I thought you might still enjoy poring over these anyway.
First up, a family portrait. As usual some of the 'children' at the front obscure those at the back - sorry about that. You can see them all in more detail in the individual shots.
First up is a #15 with its shippers. A nice little razor - love using these they provide a fantastic shave. 76g and with no wings on the centre bar this one.
Next we have a gold-plated #16. The lining of the case needs a little gluing I notice - must fix that.
Still on the gold theme my #19.
As we transition from gold here is my Aristocrat De Luxe, basically a gold plated #66. Some plate loss on this one but still a loved member of the family.
'It is good to be the King' - or Queen actually for this coronation!. A 1953 Coronation Set #66 in aluminium. Very light but very nice. This was a surprise score. I knew it was a Coronation Set - the aluminium a bonus.
With instructions and the original blade insert still in place this one is definitely a keeper! I confess that I've not used this #16 and I'm probably not likely to.
Here is my other #66, the regular version. Still loved though and a great shaver!
My #20, a joy to behold and a much loved family member.
This is one of my #21s. I love rhodium!
Ahh, sweet #16. At 84g on my scale this is a heavyweight, but very well balanced and a joy to use.
Last but not least is my other #16. This one is a little rough in the case department but you should have seen it when I rescued it! Whiskers and all sorts of stuff on this one!
So you will notice that a couple of family members are still missing. We hope to reunite them soon. In the meantime - enjoy the pics and Happy Shaving!
