    It is fantastic to see all the variations of Gillette’s that are as old as they are and still found in really good shape and kept up with by everyone here. I’m looking for more from England and Canada as well but still have many that I want. I think this thread has stoked my addiction fire! Lol

    Somebody has to have them, and that might as well be me. But I’m still missing a couple.

    I’ve stumbled onto a few British and Canadian Gillettes but prefer to go after the US sets because I feel confident I can wrap it all up eventually. I’m positioned at the wrong latitude to go after the UK or CA gear.

    i have collected most of all i wanted , but i still like to rescue an english tech when i see one ..the ones i still want are quite pricey so it will take some time, also have some nice new rfb sets on the way..will eventually pair down and keep the favorites.. :)

    This is a New Improved razor, usually in a case labeled as a New Standard. The Blade holder is crossed up too. So no, that is not an Aristocrat.

    Nope not an A’crat and @Rev579 got you covered on the details.

    I hope you are prepared to give a side-by-side comparison of the Senator and the No. 66

    Thank you! Got really lucky.
    I can do that. I’m gonna shave with the #66 tonight and the senator I have soaking in warm water and dawn now. It will get a test drive later this week. I’ll put side by side pics later tonight.

    You might not put the Senator down after tomorrow.
