Hi All,
I picked up a couple vintage Gillette DE's yesterday - I'm pretty excited! Razor stuff is still new to me - but I think I stumbled upon a couple nice ones. I was told by the seller that the gold aristocrat is a 1949 and it was some kind of Christmas special edition? Can anyone confirm if this was a thing? It sounded weird to me. I believe the black tips were made in the early 50's? Can anyone confirm that? I'm still new to the razor community so looking to learn as much as I can
On a side note: how would you recommend I clean these before using them? I don't want to do any damage to them & I'm especially curious how to care for the gold aristocrat.
