Hi I recently received an Aristocrat and I was simply wondering how to date this razor. I looked on the wiki but could not find any information regarding aristocrats. Any info would be appreciated.

Its a solid guard bar. Thank you for the info. One question though, what is the difference between these two razors (besides the case)?View attachment 102420

Nevermind, I see it. Just after the bottleneck part the knurling is different.
I thought the Aristocrats like bottom one in the squarish case were '48-'49 Aristocrats. Different case and different texture in the knurling just below the knob.
Brent, the razor in the square case is a Diplomat. It was the only gold Aristocrat of that generation with both "bands" knurled.
The '46-47 Aristo's bands were both smooth and its center bar was un-notched.
The "48-49 Aristo had one smooth band near the TTO knob, its center bar was notched and its case was larger:
