    Yeah. I really should do a thread about the Sheraton/Senator model of razor, like I did for the Gillette President.

    In 1937, the Sheraton was introduced as a lower priced model of the popular Aristocrat, in 1938 the Senator was introduced, which was nickel plated and had the non-rivited ends. (Sorry, I shouldn't have used the phrase "end caps," as they hadn't been introduced yet).

    Sometime between 1939 and 1941 1938 and 1939 (edit: misinformation on Badger & Blade, the Sheraton and Senator were discontinued in 1939), the Sheraton was updated to the same design as the Senator. Both were replaced by the Gillette Regent, a rare razor that doesn't get talked about ever. The Regent was replaced by the almost as rare Ranger Tech, which was the precursor to the modern Super Speed.

    The photo below shows the more common version of the Sheraton on the bottom.

    My first impression is very positive actually. I received it quickly because I live in Turkey as well. It was domestic courier shipping. I received it the first working day. :)

    Even though I said no gifts, one of my sisters is as hard headed as me and is sending me some AOS Peppermint Shave Cream.

    Great haul, the 15c is an excellent choice. It's a smooth very mild shaver.

    I like the lilac vegetal. I'm thinking of going back to the store where I bought mine and seeing if the lady would give me a deal on some more.
