Aristocrat, Indeed

**RollinCoal69** · 07-24-2014, 04:48 PM

Out of my decent selection of DE's I would have to pick the 58 red tip with feather blade. Just an awesome combo.

Obie the razor an bowl look great. But the brush is what caught my eye. Its a beauty.

Thanks, my friend. The brush is my custom Brad Sears silvertip in cocobolo. The brush is designated as OB1, the starter in the series of OB custom brushes Brad offers. I love this brush for the comfort and the beauty of the handle and the sweet knot.

I have the same aristocrat as you do Obie. It is hands down my favorite above all my DE razors. A sweet no rush razor.

When I want a 100% guaranteed comfortable shave it's the Edwin Jagger DE89 for me. It's not my closest shaving razor, that would be my slant. If I could only have one razor, the 89 would be it. Of course, 6 months from now I may give you a different answer!

This happens to be a very nice razor , I get mine out on occasion very gentle to do a little " blade buffing". Really nostalgic feeling. Tc

I have a '46/'47 Aristocrat and it gives a good shave. There's a little more heft to it (as opposed to a '40's Super Speed) and it just feels regal. Although I use my straights, I often use a DE when I need to save time. This one I'll use on occasion even when I have plenty of time. I'm a huge fan of the razor.
BTW: Thanks for the pictures.

Well, I don't know Obie. I have heard those Aristocats can be very sharp but having to feed them and change their litter boxes is a real pain. I also don't think they would like the lather all over themselves. They can be fastidious you know.

I'll stick with my feather DS-2 thank you.

This was my first DE. Dad gave it to me, and when he passed away last month, I pulled it out to remember his gift from a yard sale about 10 years ago

Cannot say that I like DEs, but I just bought your copper bowl.
Your photos have always inspired me.

Thank you very much Obie!

Slur, you are very welcome, and thank you. Yes, that copper shave bowl is quite attractive and adds a touch of the exotic to the shave den. Enjoy it.
