FS: #16 British Aristocrat

[Jake]

Here is the rare and relatively hefty (82gm) 1949 rhodium-plated solid plate version of the #66 razor. It's not very common for the No. 16 to show up for sale here or elsewhere -- so here's your chance to pick up this great British Aristocrat.

There are absolutely no flaws on this beauty: no pitting, plate loss, lazy door syndrome, or squeaky TTO mechanism. The case is the original, but it's interior is not in the greatest shape. The exterior is fine -- certainly suitable for storing or displaying this unique and amazingly effective razor.

The design of this razor head is like the #21 and Aristocrat Jr., with great balance for ease in smooth, comfortable, and close shaves. But this razor also has the shine and gleam that comes from rhodium plating.

I haven't used this #16 yet and it really looks like it was rarely if ever used. Whoever buys this excellent razor will be breaking it in -- and I hope someone does pick it up so I don't give in to the temptation.

Offered here for $187, shipped CONUS or CANADA.

SOLD

That is a beautiful piece.

This beautiful Brit is going back to Europe -- but bypassing England as it heads to Deutschland.

Thanks!

that shiny #16 arrived, nicely packaged. Smooth and close shaver for me (with Feather), will find it's place in my open comb dominated rotation.

Thank you Jake and B&B,
Cheers, Tom.

P.S. Now tempt me with a nice #15, if possible for less that $300
