48 - 49 second gen British Aristocrat. This is one of my rescue razors. I had to solder the razor stem back together after it snapped in half.
Razor I thought I would only hold onto for a short while and resell but it still resides in the collection and even gets used now and then. Bottom dial Fatboy
