I loaded up a new Gillette blade and did a 3 pass shave just about midnight last night. Here it is 4PM eastern and I don't yet need to shave, I'm still at SAS status.
Darlin' where have you been all my life?

Aristocrat is a nice shaving razor. Every time I break mine out I am amazed at how well it shaves

 

[Redzone]

A clear favourite of mine so far. Enjoy !

What's the difference between the Aristocrat and the Aristocrat Junior? Just had my first shave with a Junior this morning and I'm also impressed, it's my first vintage razor shave and it seems better than the weber or the att m1.

I just had a very nice shave with my '40s notched Aristocrat.

IIRC, the Aristo Jr. had a different handle.

I have a 1953 Y2 President..... which is close. It's my favorite DE.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I recently acquired an Aristocrat from about my birth year, 1948. I'm planning to use it on my birthday this year. Silly sentimentality I am sure but something I am anticipating all the same.

Hi and not silly at all. Many seek out "birth year" Gillettes. Got mine-'47 Crat( also have a '48 & '36). Enjoy!

Sweet razors. If you ever get the chnce to try an OC aristocrat go for it. Super smooth, effortless etc, etc, etc.

And your experience isn't unusual.

That's not silly at all. That's pretty cool, actually.

Yes I have to agree. The US Aristocrats are awesome shavers. Since you like your aristocrat already, you will be amazed if you shave with a 30's OC Aristocrat. I totally agree with the previous poster that said that. Congrats on the score, and Happy Shaving sir!
