Thanks fellas! Interestingly enough, I had more water than normal for the soap, but that syn brush whipped it up a great lather! I don’t know how many more shaves I’ll get with this blade, as the shave is only going to last around 10-12 hours for a 1.5 pass shave.

 

Gary or anyone with the expertise. Came across this razor on EBay. Vendor was in the UK, seller described the razor as a gold rocket aristocrat. The patent # inside as you can see from my terrible photography is Brit Patent # 694093. The only other script I can locate is the Gillette Logo and Made in England on the bottom of the baseplate. Do you know more about this razor? It’s a TTO. Thanks to anyone who can answer my question.

Enjoy your shaves,

Jeff

 

yes Jeff,it's a 55 -61 gold flaretip rocket.if i could see the top of the head and case i may be able to tell you more. cheers..not an aristocrat.. but quite a razor if it's original plating..the blade bank is from the 20s-30s..

 

Wow! Very nice.

 

The case does look like an Aristocrat case that was used for the US version in the 30’s and early 40’s. The case would have used that blade bank, however I seriously doubt case and the razor are legitimate matches(historically speaking). Personally, I like the case, and if I was a 50’s or 60’s Super Speed guy, it might for the bill.
Hopefully someone with more UK Gillette knowledge will chime in.

 

Rainy and lazy Sunday for sure but I figured I should get rid of the ever increasing fuzzy face. Today’s choice the venerable Gillette Slim but with a twist. This is a 1964 Slim that was given the Delta Echo treatment in this case the Cubano edition. This piece of functional art came from Dave in Kentucky.

Soap today the equally awesome Club CBL from Chris at CBL soaps. THE perfect companion to Pinaud Clubman. In fact if you love Clubman you will be instantly familiar with the scent of this soap because it is Clubman! Never mind the scent for a minute the soap is a lather monster period as are all CBL soaps. Happy 1st Anniversary Chris!!!

Beautiful three pass BBS shave! Slapped on some Clubman and off to Sushi with my bride! Rainy yes but so much better after this shave! Have a lovely Sept 1st!

here you go Jeff..

 

awesome shave sir..

 

thank you sir..

 

Thanks so much, Gary! I suspect that things may not go together. Given that the blade bank is not correct, I suspect that the case is not as well. Oh well. it's a nice razor. I need to sanitize it and shave with it. I've attached the views you asked for. Thank you so much for your generous spirit of assistance. Much appreciated. I just want to know what I have. Here are the images you asked for.

Thanks, JR. I think so as well.

Enjoy your shaves,

Jeff

Beautiful collection! Is that yours? Thank you for the education, Gary!
