How's Your Day? Archives

I got yahoo IM if you wanna chat some..


Fuzzy

 

I'd take that offer up, but I'm gonna go ahead and go lie down, head's starting to pound a bit

g'nite Fuzzy, anyone else hiding in the shadows

 

Shadow Hider here...

Hope things don't bite too bad, Jim. Lot's of us with ears out here (but not many as large as those big ol' floppy ones on da bunny!).

Hi Fuzzy!

 

I was looking at Jason's Razor Porn and I've got what would seem to be the same razor.

Except...

Mine's in what I thought was the original case and it's labeled as an Aristocrat. Can't find a date code on it. Are there any Gillette heads out there can help me out here?

 

I Hope ya get a little sleep.

Hey ya Tom.

Can not help with the DE question.. do not get into those very much,

How's the you tonight?
Fuzzy

 

I'm okay, how's the you?

Been fishin' the bay for a lather catcher - not even a nibble... still fun though!

 

ok I went and looked.. my 40's aristocrat does look alot like that one of Jasons... just not as pretty.. So you are not blind there Tom.

Fuzzy

 

They pop up at times.. I am loving my 1911 that I thought was a 1900.
I got really lucky on that set I think.. Now theQuest . as the bank allows. is for a wooden handle.

Fuzzy

 

I saw a wooden handled SE for sale up in Spokane. Can't remember the model name... Jinn? I think Dave was posting pictures of one of these a month or two ago. Anyway, It was VERY cool and in great shape, original case and all. Unfortunately, the owner in the antique store had a book on razor values and had it priced accordingly.

Oh, and thanks for looking at a DE for me Fuzzy! That's very kind of you!

I really wonder what the difference is... I love the way my Aristocrat shaves. It's not quite as purdy as Jason's, but it's not bad.

 

I got this one from the Zook.. shaved with it a few times.. I think next time I use a DE I will break it out. I am into TOS so not using much DE stuff lol

Fuzzy

 

TOS?

This Old Single?
The Old Stuff?
The Other Side?

Only Kidding! :happy102 Think I'll steal your sig line... ah, there, that's better!

 

Muchhhhhhhhhhhh better... if I keep it up Fuzzy Quotes will be all you have in the Sig.


Fuzzy

 

You're right, and you know, you could market that phrase - Fuzzy Quotes.

So, I've got to ask. Who's the Zook? That name makes me think of The Gooch... :think002

 

He was a member here sometime back... Not a bad fellow.. no longer post here though.

Fuzzy

 

hey guys... 5 days and I still have a fever when I don't have drugs in me, I donno how people deal with this. On top of everything I'm just kinda getting bored lol, I can only watch so much stuff on netflix.

 

American made safety bar one piece TTO's of that type:
Aristocrat: The last bit of the handle before the TTO knob there is no knurling
Diplomat: Knurling the entire handle up to the TTO knob
Executive: Bulldog knurling

Morning everyone!

 

Morning Justin. The one in Jasons picture looks like my aristocrat then. It has the same bands with no Knurling on them.

My aristocrat has no date code on it though, and is not notched. I was told that dated it to 47 or so like the SS. Maybe I got a better deal then I thought on the thing. Or did it matter what case it came it like the NEW improved's?

Fuzzy

 

If it has bands and no knurling, then it is the Aristocrat. Jason's has knurling all the way to the knob, so it is the Diplomat.

The gold Aristocrats can be found fairly cheaply. They were made for a number of years and were more common to start with than the Diplomat. With no blade notches, 47 sounds right. I have one like that as well. Its a nice shaver and it beats any of the superspeeds.

I got mine for less than $10 last fall. However, I have seen some minty ones fetch a fair price. I have also seen some regular techs in an aristocrat box claim extraordinary prices. But that's eBay for you. The real thing can go for a song and a mislabeled tech can go for an arm and a leg. Usually if the auction says aristocrat, it gets a lot of interest and higher bids regardless of what is being sold. If it isn't labeled aristocrat it can slide under the radar.

 

got a little sleep

still discombobulated over yesterday
trying to find closure and resolution

don't bother asking, just nod your head and keep going

move along, move along

 

OK... some quick editing of one of Achim's and Jason's pictures to show what I am talking about. I hope neither of them mind me doing this to their pics..

Aristocrat: There are bands above the TTO knob but no knurling on them


Diplomat: the knurling goes all the way down the handle to the TTO knob.
