    Default 1934 Aristocrat De lux cleand up a bit

    Well, with the help of bluesbishop I was able to idetify this as a barber pole style De lux razor. Got it in gunky condition but I think it cleand up pretty spify. Not bad for $5. The doors are a wee bit stiff to open, ( wish I knew why)but once it does the TTO operates effortlessly. I'm digging this razor even more so than the Toggles I had. Enjoy!

    Gorgeous man. Simply gorgeous. Nice job on the score and cleanup. Give it a good home :)

    Try a few drops of mineral oil down the pipe for the handle stiffness. If that fails you could try a mineral oil soak for a few hours. Both have worked for me in the past.

    That is one of my favorite razors. Perfect for head shaving.
    What's a little loss of blood in the big scheme of things?
