Hi guys I've been looking to get an aristocrat. I've heard great things about this razor specifically the ones that are from 1948-1950. I've seen people compare it to a merkur 34c in terms of aggression and comfort but has the advantage of being smoother for it's more rigid blade clamping compared to the merkur. I love the merkur with it's forgiving angle and such but I had to move past it for it's poor blade alignment and tendency to chatter when shaving my coarse hairs. Can anyone help me identify if this is a 1948-1950 aristocrat? And feel free to comment with your experience on this razor and if the comparisons with the merkur are valid. Thanks again for any advice! Pic are below
