IMHO, the razor that shaves far better than any of the US or British Aristocrats (or Diplomats and Presidents, for that matter) that does not get much mention because of its rarity, is the Executive. If I was only allowed to own one vintage Gillette razor, this would be the one. The Executive was the only US razor that was plated in rhodium (and only the second with a "bulldog" handle), and it came with the most impressive case that Gillette ever designed. There are a lot of debates at the various shaving forums as to which Gillette model was "the best", but I say, hands down, it is the Executive.
