Thought you were talking about Obama there for a minute. Carry on.











No comment one way or the other on the actual president.

Nice looking razor. But it doesn't look like a President. The President has the two small fluted rings knurled and not smooth. Like the Gold plated Diplomat. The good part of your razor is it will certainly maintain it's plating much longer then the Aristocrat's lacquer.

Chukka, that is a nice looking replated Aristocrat--I see what you mean by "false" president. I considered doing that with a user grade Aristocrat.

Nice job.
 
It is officially designated the model 5-4-43. Actually it might be better than the real thing - I find the president to be a bit mild for my taste. However the aristocrat is noticably more aggressive. I just don't like gold razors.
 
I have a Sheraton with very little gold left on it. It's a great daily shaver so I am thinking of having it replated in nickel, aka "The False Senator":001_smile
