I was lucky enough to snag this specimen some days back.
It arrived today and I'm thrilled with what I'm seeing.
Looks like yet another razor that the owner may have used just once and kept away. Turning mechanism is buttery smooth and doors align perfectly.
The box is the best condition I've ever seen. It has its original snap and everything from the hinges to the
insides and the blade tray is sparkling.
My research suggests that this an Aristocrat #15 sold in Australia. I've always wanted one just to compare to my #21 which looks pretty much identical.
I have drawn a hot bath for it and will post pics on how it cleans up. The only bummer is that the previous owner left a blade in the razor, so theres some discolouration on the tray which scrubbing bubs should get rid of. There are also 5 new wilkinson sword blades in wrappers which Im wondering whether to use, altho i probably won't as Im a chicken^&%$.
Anyway heres the initial before pics:
