    C2DB6D26-96BC-45BC-A7C6-9DADD3D93C8A.jpeg Continuing with the Aristocrats and today we have a lovely 48-51 that comes courtesy of @Rev579 down in Texas. This particular one is the first A’crat acquired and is a fav of mine. Though she isn’t as pretty as some of the others and is missing an end cap, she shaves wonderfully. Loaded up with a Polsilver IR this A’crat is fantastic!

    Today’s soap of the day is Barrister & Mann’s Seville simply, I can’t get enough of this clean scent. They say it is a take on a barbershop scent...well I want to find that shop and move in!!

    Lathered up with the Chubby 1 and proceeded to get through a wonderful, three pass BBS shave! Finished up with the matching AS and a lovely dab of Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense which, is an incredible EDP and match for Seville. Bring on the weekend and Happy Shaves all!

    You've kept a lot of the lacquer on the razor!

    Razor 3/6 - Gillette Aristocrat 1938 - 1940 variant
    Shave 1/2 - Bic blade

    If the first shave is any indication I am going to have to walk back what I said about the second and third variants being different shavers. This one with the Bic blade is like the 36 - 37 variant without the alignment issues like my other razor way it shaves. The shave with the Ladas blade will determine that formally tomorrow.
