    uhhh, I've always liked you, your posts and your contribution to TSD.

    I hope this doesn't change all that? :scared001: :scared003: :scared007:

    This is what I thought, too. I'm still a regular guy. :D

    notched, “PAT. NOS. ON PACKAGE”, thick ring in the middle of the base plate: that´s 1948/49
    I would say, your Aristocrat is from 1948 with left over parts (handle) from the 46/47 Aristocrat

    My usual Aristocrat, born in 1946, just contributed to a stellar shaving experience. Paired with the Feather blade and some WARS cream, finished off with a nice Country Club Frozen Vetiver.

    Awesome.

    Well it seems to have (more) three indicators of a 46-47. The lack of knurling on the upper band, non-notched (it appears it may have had wings and they were removed or left off/defect at factory) and the tray markings. I agree that between the 46-47 and 48-50 change over Gillette left no scrapes on the table (hell it may have been sold in Super Speed case). I have a 48 that has 46-47 tray markings but everything else on it says it's a 48-50 so it's somewhat common.

    I do not believe it to have been an aristocrat.

    perhaps a regent. I have seen regents with the 46-47 handle and the notched heads.

    it lacks the correct notch in the blade tray for the winged head.. so sorry its not a 46-47.

    I belive it was decided somewhere that it is the very rare 47-48 :bounce015:. In any case it is a fantastic razor
