Wow! You have two now! I have zero! I think I like that French import case more than the razors! They look pretty good together!
Oh come on Scott, any #15 is a beautiful #15! Show her off.Mines not worthy to be displayed, yet. Some day, some day.
Wow. Great pics. guys. I'm drooling!
Truer words were never spoken on these pages.Oh come on Scott, any #15 is a beautiful #15! Show her off.
Pretty! When is it arriving?
Alan, the B&B Wiki shows it as a #1, fwiw.John, I don't think it has a number, it's a 1936, the predecessor to the #15.

that´s what I know from old Ads:
in 1936 he has no wings, was silverplated and was only called "Aristocrat" (#2 for silver plated Traveler and #3 for gold plated Traveler)
in early Nov 1938 he has no wings, was rhodium plated and was called #15 (gold plated #19)
in late Nov 1938 he has wings, was rhodium plated and called #15, #19 (gold plated), #2 (Traveler) and #3 (gold Traveler)
So "someone" has inferred if Gillette made a #2 and a #3, then there must have been a #1, huh? Time for a Wiki update, it would seem. Thanks for the correct history.I'm not sure where that info came from, but the ads don't mention a #1 set. Razors in that case are referred to as ''Gillette Aristocrat''
But then they have numbers for the Traveler sets #2 and #3.
It's not the only inconsistency in that chart, though. The Popular are listed as set #4, which is incorrect.
There's a Traveler #4 but that one came with a 2-piece RFB NEW.
