Gillette British Aristocrats

[GeorgeSa19]

What's up you guys?
I wanted to show you my latest addition to my collection: two Gillette British Aristocrats.
The rhodium plated set #21 and the gold plated set. Now I know there is some sort of controversy surrounding this gold set because I think no one knows what set really is...a #16 or #21?
Anyway, beautiful looking razors that I've been wanting to get for a while and now I finally got them.





Aren't they a lovely couple?

Great looking razors

Very nice scores, a lovely couple indeed. The British Aristocrats are the best razors there is IMHO. The golden set holding a 3rd generation razor like yours was made only for the Argentinian (or the South American) market so is somewhat rarer to get a hold of. I don’t know the number of it.

As I have also caught the Brit Aristo bug (bad pun in these times, I know) I did this elaborated thread on them some months ago - in case if you’re interested

18 different British Gillette Aristocrat and Popular sets - a partial historic overview and my collector’s journey (pics galore)

In March 2018 I acquired a gorgeous British made Gillette Aristocrat razor from a fellow B&B’er. I loved it from the get-go, for it’s amazing build quality, stunning barberpole looks, and of course for the absolutely stellar and smooth shaves it provides. So not unexpectedly it also provided me...
