    Soviet Gillette Aristocrat adjustable knockoff, Bic Chrome Platinum blade, shave 6

    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Soviet made razor most likely sometime in the 60s. The razor based upon some asking around was most likely made as an official gift for visiting dignitaries, diplomats that sort of thing. The razor looks identical to a Gillette Aristocrat adjustable except for the end caps and markings on it as seen in the picture. Mine has alignment issues with one side having more blade exposure than the other. I used the side with more blade exposure set at 9. Razor as it is right now is definitely more aggressive than a Gillette Aristocrat set at the same. That could change a little if I decide to fix the alignment issues. End result BBS finish achieved.
