Great thread already. I'm subscribed. Just like the rest of Cap's threads. I think I sorta like the look of the nickel handled one.

[emoji106] just an FYI, these two Aristocrats will be PIF'd.
We covered this not long ago http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/276703-Regent-Tech-and-1941-Aristocrat
Cant get any better than that, awesome.
My first thought was that, you know that it may be possible too.
It could be a factory left over part razor, a Frankenrazor is a good theory.
Yep ...I think you were right, Alex. The handle was swapped at some point.
They look good enough as they are, no need for replate.
It may be possible....

Doesn't the broken off/missing retainer screw point some fingers to previous tinkering?
Amazing transformation. Someone is going to be mighty lucky winning that PIF.
So they inserted the broken retainer screw in the razor, which indicates a switched handle.

Great job once again and some great discussion. Keep up the good work.
The Cap always have fun discussion threads
Yes he does, I definitely learned from the discussion. [emoji1]
Hey Cap. How is the PIF gonna work? Through this thread or is greene301 gonna do a little something?

Thank you, Gentlemen! I too have learned a great deal from all of the discussion here, this stuff sure is fun and we have some very knowledgeable members!
Jimmy, I will be managing the PIF's as agreed between me and Mr. Greene. I am somewhat of a minimalist so the things I can include in the PIFs will be limited to basically the razor and some blade samples...I know I'm boring
When I do start them, I will do separate PIF threads for each razor and I will post links to the PIFs in the threads I have featured the razors in.
If you gents have any creative ideas, suggestions, or recommendations on requirements and formatting, I am all ears. I am not exactly the "PIFmaster"

Here's an Aristocrat that I just did a quick tune-up on:
It had some functional issues with the doors opening and closing as well as some slightly bent safety bars. If you look at the area where the T-bar attaches to the door rod, there is some greenish/blue substance that oozed out as a result of me pinching the crimp area closed with my tools. This area was slightly flared out, causing some resistance when loading a blade.
