Fresh off the slow boat from China: I also have 100 of these Tian Li blades coming to see if they are the same, (On recommendation of @jmudrick ):
It's hard to navigate and deal with poor English translation but the Alibaba site for the manufacturer suggests the dark blue packaged blades are chrome platinum coated, the others not indicated as such. I have a tuck of the Super Blue but haven't tried them yet. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
A couple of goodies just showed up at the door. First, thanks to @swarden43 for sending me this Segal razor. Also this Gillette Gold Aristocrat that is in pretty good shape. Now I'll have to get it's correct case........
Nice haul. The case your looking for is the square clamshell . Similar to the diplomat in terms of shape. I believe I have one, but I can check when I get home.
Aristocrat had 2 types of cases. The smaller rectangular case and the square case. These aristocrats are from the 40s but the knurled top ring and the smooth bottom ring narrows it down to approx 1948
Well Jimjo1031... My badger brush from China arrived. Can't believe this was like £6 delivered!! It's good. Seems like it will be nice to use. (Only a tiny bit small compared to the Pro49 )
Well well well. My Shave Den Shop order has been delivered, but the problem is not tooooo me. Also I use informed delivery with I was suppose to receive important information about my medical plan.
