Help identifying a Gillette British Aristocrat

Hello gents,

I recently purchased this razor and I’m having some trouble identifying the model/year.
The information I got so far is quite confusing...

Thanks for your help!

I think it’s a mis-matched set. The razor is a 4th Generation Aristocrat; the case is more commonly seen with a Second Generation Aristocrat. It’s a brilliantly smooth shaver, nonetheless.

Thanks Dan! I’ve seen others in the exact same configuration. Maybe this set was available in France? Do you know what year the 4th generation was made?

I’ve also seen this case quite often here in Europe matched with a 3rd gen razor - as I mentioned in my Aristo thread a while back...

The 4th gen I believe was made 1953 to 1960 give or take.
