Got the Aristocrat yesterday and used it for the first time this morning with a Personna Med Prep. My favorite razors so far are Fatboy/Slim set at 9, Progress set at 5 and Merkur 37c, which are relatively heavy, aggressive razors.
The Aristocrat felt well balanced with a shorter handle than my Fatboys. The head weight is relatively heavy when placed on my face, but didn't feel as heavy as the Fatboy. More like a Slim. Appropriate shaving angle was very easy to find and maintain throughout the shave. Shave was extremely smooth - one of my smoothest ever. 1 WTG and 1 XTG pass produced nice results for daily shave, but obviously not as close as some of my more aggressive razors. Shave quality was very similar to what I get with my Redtip.
What really impressed me was the smoothness of the shave. No dragging or nicks whatsoever. Great razor for hitting the trouble spots. I'm thinking this will be a great razor for 3 pass, ATG shave.
For those of you who know these razors, am I correct that the razor is a 46-47, but the case is a 48-50?
