I'm super excited for its arrival, it sure was a pretty penny on the bay.
The Vintage Gillette Aristocrat

If you had it delivered to my house, I could get to work on identifying date of manufacture, etc. shouldn't take more than a couple decades.
I just loved the twisted knurled handle of the British aristocrats. If I don't like it its yours. ;PIf you had it delivered to my house, I could get to work on identifying date of manufacture, etc. shouldn't take more than a couple decades.
Since I'm pretty sure your not going to take me up on my first suggestion....

The '48 Aristocrat has an increased blade gap. There is a crease at the safety guard bar on the '48.
If you follow the baseplate down to the safety guard bar, you can see the crease. I gave my '47 to a friend, but my Milady-Tech has the same head. If you follow the baseplate, there's no crease.
The same change is found on the '47 Super speed. Seems they were slow to changing the blade aligning bar.

Can you guys help me identify this English Aristocrat?
4th gen English Aristocrat set #66 (does yours have a little crown on the lid?)

that´s a nice #66 Aristocrat. If inside the head is "Patent Pending" it´s from 1953/54. Since 1955 it says "Brit.Pat.694 093". If the case shows a crown, it´s a 1953 Coronation set.
I believe then its 1955+, this thing is absolutely stunning in real life. its insane.
Lol. That was funnyIt's bad luck to have six, send me the gold one on the left. I'm doing you a favor!

A gold 48-51 Aristocrat is an awesome Shaver and truly a thing of beauty
Undeniably things of beauty. Glad to see this thread revived. Here's an earlier one.
Let me re-ppost my British Aristocrat - a prototype (unsure of the #);

Not British, I'm afraid. Looks like Saxon...
