My favorite razor is a well worn finish 46-47 Aristocrat, mechanicaly perfect with no nicks or dings! shaves like a dream.
Have really been thinking about having it replated to its original gold glory. However I also would like to get an original case and blade bank for it, instead of keeping it in the razor rack where it will possibly get banged around.
As my wife pointed out, why not find one with decent plating and with a case or just a case and use the old one when your feeling it. Price wise you might be ahead? $75 for a replate or $75+++ for a decent cased one.
Sounds simple enough, right. Been searching the bay and a few other places to no avail. Either the case is decent and missing the blade bank and the razor is in horrible condition or a trashed case with a decent razor and blade bank. Or a nice case and bank with a tech in it LOL and a crazy price tags to boot!
So I am really on the fence as what to do? I know it sounds crazy but a matching case for it just tickles my fancy! I have several other razors with there cases and I find I use them more often than those in the rack other than the Aristocrat which has became my favorite gillette model.
I am sooo confused!
