    Is this the correct name for this razor ?

    It has most of the gold plating worn off and is a great candidate for replating in 18kt.

    Marked "Made in England" on the underside and pretty much the same size as it's open comb partner The #15

    Stunning shaver with a Feather Blade , slightly more aggressive than most other fixed head Gillette TTO's I have tried.

    Any info appreciated

    Yes, Aristocrat DeLuxe is the correct name:

    Yes. I don't want to sell it. I shave with it. I am curious because I have never seen a photo of my razor on the internet.

    Thanks for sharing this site. The top inside of my box is not the same. I can't find the same interior. Behind the box is an old seller's sticker. H. Ackermann Basel. (Basel in Switzerland). I have no other information. The presentation, shape and color resemble Aristocrat De Luxe. The blade holder is also the same.

    Technically that is true but examples of that style razor and set have been pictured on auction sites before.

    It is an Aristocrat Deluxe, case maybe different because of the particular set number or region it was sold in. That razor is what is referred to as a 4th gen Aristocrat and because it has a British Patent number on it puts it between 1954 - 1959 without knowing anything more about it.

    Conservatively in that condition and with the case in the $100 - $200 USD range. Ultimately what a collector will pay for it but they usually don't go below $100 these days when you have the correct case for one which you do for yours. What you have is something a collector would want since the majority of these 4th gen razors are rhodium plated and gold plated ones are much less common.
