FS: #15 Open Comb Rhodium Brit

[Jake]

Here is an excellent quality 1938 British Aristocrat. The razor itself is a beauty -- no flaws that I can see, and the silo doors and handle shine like it was never used! I have not shaved with it because I have another, and due to its weight and remarkably fine-tuned construction, it truly is one of the best razors for shaving (or displaying) available.

Unfortunately the case is not quite up to the level of the razor -- the lining is a little funky, one side is slightly bent, yet it closes fine, and the case is missing the display/used blade holder.

Since the case is less than perfect I am offering this beauty for $167 CONUS. Paypal is the preferred payment method.

what can I say, man you just made me change my keyboard and put out for drying, I am awed by beauty !!!! nice sale and very very tempted, someone please snatch it

[Jake]

Thanks. Yes, it is a beauty and the open comb provides a super-smooth shave with this super-smooth rhodium finish.

An offer has been made, and so I am glad to share the bounty (or is it booty?).

[drandall]

so it's gone? if not, i'm interested....

[Maher]

yes I know OCs give the best shaves I love those, I would have snatched right off, but just did a couple of purchases one with a plated 18k gold Sheraton and another big fellow that I am waiting for ... congrats for the buyer and of course the seller on an excellent deal

[Jake]

Razor is moving out to Washington state to brighten the day for one of our peers. It has just been sold and is bound to make its new owner very close to a BBS spe......t...

[alex2363]

I am bit behind in acknowledging receipt of the incredible #15 Jake sold. The photos do not do the razor justice, but do provide a window into its excellent condition. Of course, it also provides one heck of a shave.

I also wanted to share some photos of a razor that never made it onto the BST, but was in the package I received. (I did a bit of poaching from Jake's stash.) This one is such a stunner that, after getting home late from work, I brought it to bed to show my wife. Now I am slightly concerned I may have lost it to her.... The darn thing has more sparkle than her wedding ring, and she likes "sparklies."

Sincerest thanks to Jake, and thank you B&B.

I'm confused -there are photos of two different razors in this thread?

Ok then! Time to get some sleep.

[superbleu]

Jim, I think the British aristo was acquired in an under the table deal(never posted on the BST), if I read Poonjaji's post correctly.

Hey Mehar...why not Donate a Fat Boy to an ol man who enjoys Wet Shaving and cannot afford expensive razors.
I'm 57,retird and enjoy shaving even at this age.

[stubblefree]

This here is an amazing Razor.

Would you believe me if I told you that I am out of FB I would have but, if you want an open comb you got yourself a razor, send your mailing address

That's the kind of stand up behaviour that makes this place awesome.

Maher is really a standup guy.
