Just got my shave-ready 40's Aristocrat today. The one I already have is a show piece.

Can't wait to give her a spin tomorrow

...I will still be in good shape. Last day of vacation hit some antiques stores and found a G# Fatboy in great shape, with box [my birth quarter even!] a Valet Autostrop box with blades and a Gillette Diplomat that was so covered in old soap I wasn't sure if it was gold or brass! All for $25! The Diplomat cleaned up gorgeous as did the Fatboy, can't wait to use 'em!

Very nice! I do believe that is an Aristocrat though.

Scotty, what are the differences to look for? I was going by the razor of the week post. Thanks!

The handle would be completely knurled on a Diplomat. Yours looks like it has the bottom band w/o knurling which should put it at about 48-50. I am not positive, but I think that all Diplomats have a date code.

Yup, you were right! Oh well, I'm still as happy as if I knew what I was talking about!

A package arrived while I was on Christmas vacation:

Looking forward to trying them out this week.

My large scuttle from schwarzweisskeramik is very heavy and nowadays I primarily do face lathering. This brush scuttle from Dirty Bird should keep my brush nice and warm. Just like the other scuttle, but that one was really big on my sink if I only use it to warm the brush.
