    From what I read, they are the same razors, and the only difference was the case that they were sold in. I believe the Aristocrat was more common.

    Gillette did that to some of their razors. All depends on what case it's in decides what the razor model it is.

    There was a listing on the bay for two vintage Gillette razors for $30, with no other details other than a quick description of the condition, which could be seen in the photos. Both look pretty filthy and tarnished. One is an old type with a very minor crack at the ball end of the handle. The other looks to be a Goodwill #164 with a slightly longer crack near the cap end of the handle. I figured if that is a #164 I'll take my chances that I can clean them up, so I offered $20 and the seller accepted.

    Mayhap it were a suggestion?

    (Although I've always understood you let a blade rest a day between shaves)

    Obviously from eBay, hence the obligatory reference that the razor is "for Shaving". :)

    I saw the new line up and the two in the middle caught my eye. The green is not available for adoption so I made a deal with maker and adopted the one on the left of the green one...let the JR BAD begin
