This is funny.......from the Gillette Facebook page.

I found out the same thing a few months ago.
I think it's easier to apply too much pressure with the normal super speeds and such because there is a lot less blade exposure. I can't shave with...
46-47 Aristocrat
34 OC Aristocrat
Red Tip
Astra blades
I use an Astra in my 34 OC / 46-47 Aristocrats.
Congrats..:thumbup1:
The reds are too dull for me.
It's hard to find, but King's Men shaving soap is great!
Great stuff.....
I got 7 of them from Ian the first time he was selling them.
I was already a big fan of the cologne. I wish RL wouldn't have discontinued it.
Good thing I have a stash of it as...
Find you a RED TIP SS and you will have perfection!
+1
The best part of it is ALL OF IT :thumbup:
Great story!
I did the same thing for my Dad back in the summer. He is 77 and I gave him a crap load of aftershaves, brushes, soap with old spice mug, creme, a slim adjustable and blades for it...

SOLD
I don't much about shipping outside of the U.S.
If it doesn't take anything special to ship it up there,
then I will be willing to do it.

Gillette Fat Boy E 4 which puts it at the last quarter of 1959.
Razor is overall in great condition. There is a little plate loss underneath on one side of the guards. One...
Congrats on the score...now you own the first TTO.
There were no razor serial numbers from 1931 until 1951.
It's a 34 Aristocrat.....that works for me.
I love the weight on this razor. It's...
This is what I would do.....
Instead of plopping down a big chunk of money on fixing the handle and getting it re plated, I would find another razor with the same handle on the Bay (that isn't...
I just received my 34 Aristocrat last week from the Bay.
It's a beauty and a great shaver!
The Sheraton came out in 1937 and the Senator in 1938.
The first TTO was introduced in 1934 and it was the open comb Aristocrat.

The vintage Colgate is just another example of tallow goodness.
For those who have never used it.......it has no scent!
:thumbup1:
Nice hardware...:thumbup:
my guess.....trac II cart.
Congrats!!!!
The 46-47 Aristocrat is my favorite razor, although I have this 34 Aristocrat coming in the mail early next week......my opinion may change.
...
Should be here in a couple of days......been wanting one of these for over a year.

I just finished my RAD last night....I'm done!
Finally got a 34 OC Aristocrat TTO on the way.

Most of it is in glass!
I got the Westphal AS off of Ebay. I thought it looked cool and I got a couple of jars of shaving cream as well.
Here's an old pic....

I got these razors over the holidays...
Red Tip - New - SS in a package deal
( also contained a cased Fat Boy, which I"ll be selling at some point )
Pocket ABC
( I don't know whether to...
Gillette Aristocrat 46-47
It has the same heft as a red tip or fat boy, but it seems the contour of the cutting head is a bit different so it works best in my hand.
The RT and FB are in the...
Congrats on the score!
They should have a date on them, if you look through the liquid on the back of the label.
Usually they are dated 1966-68.
I have two original aftershave, one original...
Here is my crappy pic, not including the stash.

I just got one and gave it a whirl last night. Great classic tool!
I just got one as well over the holidays......me likes!
Congrats on that fine piece of history!
I have one coming to my front door step soon. I took a gamble on it and we shall see what the inside of the case looks like.
I'll post some pics when it...
Ultimately I would say the Slim.
Get one of each.....they are both worth owning.
Great score :w00t:
I've got a couple of good deals like that in the past.
I'm probably set for the rest of my life with Old Spice SS.
I just opened a new puck and have 6 more in reserve.
OS...
Seaforth is some really good stuff.
I have 3 mugs with soap/insert.
The scent is strange....kind of an industrial smelling citrus.
Sorry I didn't find this thread earlier.....haven't been on for awhile.
I bought some of this stuff months ago and it's not any good for shaving.
I wish I could have saved some of you some money...
I love it and luckily I have six more pucks left. :thumbup1:
