Help ID an aristocrat

[Psusocr]

hello all,

I’m a straight razor guy but I found this aristocrat in the wild today for $15 and picked it up. It appears to be missing the blade bank but I still thought it was a great deal with only one crack in the usual spot . All teeth are straight and accounted for . Can anyone else tell me more about it ? Also what is the best way to clean up the patina and razor in general? Can I use some mothers polish? Any suggestions or recommendations appreciated .

TIA,

Good looking Aristocrat and great find!!! I generally start with warm water and dawn dish soap and a soft toothbrush. You can also use Scrubbing Bubbles without bleach. The experts will be along soon to let you know more about it.

Hi Tia,

I'm not so sure about this being an aristocrat razor. Looks like a mismatch to me. (but I whas wrong on identifying my last RFB purchase)

Razor appears to be a type of New Deluxe.

Well , I’ll take the case for a future aristocrat purchase ! Also a nice razor , what year might this razor be ? , what would be the best cleanup method ? Any suggestions there ?

Adam is correct, the New Improved is a supper sweet shave. If I had to pick just one more than likely the Tuckaway would be it. Is the handel crack free?

 

[Psusocr]

Thanks for the comments !! There is Only one small crack which I thought was pretty good based on most I’ve seen.

Are the tuck away’s more rare or valuable than the aristocrats? Sorry for the newbie questions, I don’t have the slightest clue when it comes to DE’s but I’m slowly starting to get Into them as a collector and to use for touch ups and on the go shaving .

Nice razor, good idea to keep the case for an Aristocrat. Congratulations.

Non of them are rare and are similar value.
I'd suggest you try both and decide which one shaves better for you.
