I've got an Aristocrat Junior and was wondering of anybody can cast any light on what it is, or might be, plated with. The thing is the head looks shinier and a bit whiter than my nickel plated vintage razors, while the handle looks a bit more grey to me. However, the head isn't an exact match for my Aristocrat no 16, which is definitely rhodium plated. So, might the head of the Junior be rhodium plated and the handle nickel, or is the head just very high quality nickel? Were some Juniors rhodium plated and ones from other periods done in nickel, or a mix of the two?
I've tried to capture these differences with my camera, but I'm afraid they don't really show up. Any information will be most welcome.
