You are buying a part of Gillette History.  For your consideration is this Vintage “Gold-Plated” Gillette  Aristocrat Razor (1945-46).  This razor set comes with a NOS Gillette "Thin" Razor Blade--In the Original Wrapper.                ***SEE FULL DESCRIPTION BELOW***            (See Pictures)

HISTORY:   Spanning more than 70 years, the Aristocrat name plate was the longest running of the Gillette line of DE razors and, in my opinion, was their flagship razor. True, more upscale and pricier sets were made, but only for short periods of time, while the Aristocrat enjoyed fairly steady production until a decade long break from 1951 to 1961.    This appears to have been a very popular razor in its time.

THE RAZOR:  This razor is in Vintage-Used Condition--with Age-Appropriate Gold-Plate Loss Throughout Noted.   It has No Date Code and features the “Un-notched T” Blade Guard.   There is No Patent Information Printed on the Inside Blade Area. On the bottom of the Blade Guard it reads, “REG US--PAT.OFF” and The “Gillette Diamond Logo”--”MADE IN U.S.A.”   The Mechanics of the Razor Work Well.               (See Pictures)

NOTE: I have taken pictures of every angle of this razor--LEAVING NOTHING TO THE IMAGINATION--and so you will know exactly what you are buying.  If you would like more pictures or have questions, just ask.

I made no attempt to further clean this razor--a simple warm soapy bath and a soft cloth wipe down.  I was afraid to get too aggressive--in fear of loosing more of the Gold Plating.    It will need to be further cleaned and sterilized before use/display--or just left alone.      

THE BLADE:  1 NOS Gillette "Thin" Razor Blade--In the Original Wrapper.     (See Pictures)

SHIPPING NOTE:  I will Carefully pack this Razor in a Sturdy Cardboard Box--NO FLIMSY MAILER--and--I will ship The Next Business Day!!!
