Can anyone here tell me which razor is more aggressive? The 30's Sheraton or Aristocrat.
30's Sheraton vs Aristocrat

Which Aristocrat are you asking about? The fair comparison should be with the open comb '34 Aristocrat.

Sorry, yes 30's open comb Aristocrat
Hi there,
I've used a 1937 Sheraton quite often, and also various Aristocrats/ Diplomats. To me, the 1940s/early 50s Aristocrat types feel like about a #5 setting on my fatboy. The Sheraton feels another half click higher. The 1934 type Aristocrat feels almost the same to me as the Sheraton....maybe it's even up to #6 on the Gillette dial.
Both those open combs would be considered by me to be on the milder side for that type of razor. I would also say the Sheraton and 1934 type may have given me a somewhat closer shave than the later Aristocrats. Keep in mind that for me open combs shave closer in general. All three models are nice razors.
Hope that helps,
Martin

I agree the heads are pretty similar but the weight and heft of the Aristocrat make it a more meaty shaver in my opinion (and the winner, too).

Please tell me what you think of the price?

I own both a Sheraton and a Brit Aristocrat #15. And while the #15 is heavier, I find that both shave the same when using the same blade. Both are great open comb tto razors. You should be happy with either.
I do have a second Sheraton that I was about to post on BST. If you are interested please feel free to PM me.
