Thread: Gillette aristocrat

The best thing I've found to clean a gold plated Gillette Aristocrat is Windex. Any abrasive will begin to remove the plating. It is relatively fragile. I have a couple of those and as DEs go they are DF shavers.

I will see how I like it and go from there. I was really more curious to the age of it. I know value is subjective and if I don't like it I have rally no attachment to it so parting with it won't be an issue.
All depends on how I like it when it comes time for the shave. Thanks again for the info on it.
Nice picture of your razor by the way. Yours is in better condition of course but it looks like the one I received.

Glad to have been some help. You'll be surprised at how much you'll like this razor once you shave with it, mine's definitely one of my favourites.

I had a feeling it would not disappoint! Glad to hear you like it & are going to hang onto it. How about an after cleaning pic?

Believe it or not...after cleaning it pretty much looks the same as the pictures I originally posted...just ...well cleaner.. the plating and stuff still has all the wearing. I wish I can say that it looks better but to be honest it literally is just cleaner.
