Shave review 1948-50 Gillette Aristocrat
For those interested, did my first shave with her this morning. A 4 pass shave with a new feather blade installed and a light touch. What a nice close comfortable irritation free shave, no complaints whatsoever. Easy to find and keep the right angle with this one. Physically it balances well for me. The handle is grippy. To me it feels like it has the right amount of aggression to shave easily and close without keeping you on your toes like a Muhle R41 or Gillette Fat Boy @ 9 with a feather blade. It might not shave quite as close by a tad as those other two but it is more of a pleasure to use. I think it would be an excellent daily driver. I would not hesitate to pick one up if you can find one at a good price. They are not hard on the eyes either.
