    Default American post war Gillette Aristocrat

    Gillette DEs are growing on me. Just got this 1948-50 era Aristocrat in. Oddly it has the wording of the 1946-47 model stamped on the inside of the base plate. Gave it a quick clean and looks to be in very good user shape, not mint but gently used nice. Looking forward to giving her a go.

    It's definitely a good looking razor. Please let us know how it compares to other DEs.

    I think you are going to like the Aristocrat and as mentioned above they are sweet shavers. Enjoy.
