    Aha. Production numbers is a factor I had not considered, Im ashamed to admit. You learn something new all the time. Where is s good source for that kind of information?

    there isn't one unfortunately,or at least i am not privy to one.but our razors aren't seen on forums or for sale that often compared to others.mine was available for one or 2 years at best ,compared to the regular brit flare tips.same as yours..the slim was the common razor compared to your aristocrat ,add in age and the not/hardly used factor.just speculation..there could have been 1 million of each made,but there were 10 million of the common ones made for example..numbers a guess of course..

    I'm not sure if pics are what's being asked for or not so I'll give a list of what vintage Gillette stuff I use and post pics later. All I use is vintage hardware, various brands of blades but only Gillette razors. All the razors have their original cases and are in very good to excellent condition, none exactly pristine.
    40's era Gold Aristocrat
    40's era Fat Handle Tech
    Birth year and quarter ( B3 ) each of
    Red Tip
    Blue Tip
    Two heritage 58 Super Speed T.V. Specials, one was my pop's the other granddad's
    F2 Fat Boy
    Blades I have from around 50 to over one hundred of each of the following NOS blades
    Stainless
    Super Stainless ( Spoilers )
    Platinum Plus
    And that's what I use that are Gillette.
