    Check the alignment on the V3A carefully and it should be a nice efficient shave. The gunmetal finish is sweet! :happy088:

    You make it sound so cool! I don't know much about injectors. I just learned my other injector is a G type. Know any good threads or pages to learn more about them?

    I ordered an Above The Tie razor with two baseplates. The only Canadian website I could find that stocks ATT has been sold out for quite some time, so I ordered directly from the company. I ordered the Atlas with the R1 baseplate plus an additional H1 baseplate.

    I've spent far too much money on shaving gear in the last three months, and the US to Canadian exchange rate is killing me but I've wanted one for so long and I'll be getting a modest income tax return so I rationalized it! I hear the quality is top notch.

    A "Vintage rare collectable Gillette Safety Razor Made in England in 1950's," according to the eBay listing title.

    We are perhaps more familiar with it as the British N° 58 Aristocrat, sometimes called the N° 58 Coronation Set if it's the varient with the crown on the case.

    There are two types of this razor. An aluminum varient, and a brass varient, which weighs in at approximately 71 grams, putting it firmly in the Rocket HD family of razors. This is the brass heavy varient.

    This will be my first Rocket, Aristocrat, and British DE razor, all in one nice tidy bundle. Ain't she pretty?

    I wasn't even looking for one of those. I was just looking for a Rocket in decent condition. Did a search for "Brit. Pat. Razor," saw that one and said "Holy @#$% that's gorgeous!" It pretty much flew under the radar because of the listing title.

    The search turned it up because of the description:
    "Vintage rare collectable Gillette Safety Razor
    Made in England in 1950's
    Brit. Pat. 694093
    weight 71.70 grams
    Twist to open design
    Nickel-plated
    Case is in good condition, however there are signs of wear throughout the case: ink stains etc."

    Sometimes it pays off to use obscure searches on eBay. Misspelled words, etc.

    Found it, did you? :)

    I wonder how it ended up in Sofia, Bulgaria? Oddly enough, many of my vaping devices come from GP, which is also located in Sofia.
