British Gillette OC ID question

[Griptool]

Its a crappy photo but that's all I have until it arrives.

Would you say its an Aristocrat a Popular or something else?
Any comments appreciated, Thanks.

It is a British Aristocrat #15 - thicker handle than the Popular and THE BEST OC razor around - well done sir

i observed the auction too. but pay attention i think the corner teeths are heavily bented. curios that it seems to be that there is rust between the teeths altough it should be rhodium plated. so far i didnt have rust on my vintage rhodium plated razors. if you decide to bent back the teeths pay a lot of attention!! they can broke away...

You may well be right but I am taking a punt on the discolouration being crud (or a rusty blade(fingers crossed)) and the teeth being straight''ish, its always a risk when bidding on poorly presented ebay ads, but the price (about ten fusion carts!) reflected the risk IMO.

Photo's to follow on arrival

Nice razor I think the rust is just an old blade

Well it's arrived. Case is a bit grubby


Razor is even grubbier



Teeth are a wee bit bent

All is not lost



I'm still not sure exactly what it is,
British Pat 430030 about 73 grams (seems to be a OC version of a #21 set?)
