I think there is a mistake here

I think they have it backwards in the first pic. They claim the Brit is on the left and the US is on the right. Am I mistaken or am I missing something?....I would have PM'ed nuclearblast but I already bothered him with a bunch of other stuff...can't overstay your welcome, ya know! Sorry Jeff...he is my idol...LOL!

They're both British Aristocrats. You can plainly see the "Made in England" on the razor on the right.

They mean UK style TTO, and US style TTO. Brits produced both styles.

Why do they have to make this so complicated? Just when I thought I was getting it!

But they are both #15's???

Nope ...

The one on the right is a #21 and the one on the left is a #22/66 ...

The information on the site quoted in the OP is very comprehensive. I learned a great deal about the British Aristocrats from that article, such as the fact that there are 19 different models but only 4 different heads. I have a nice #15 and am after a good #16 which IMHO is the pick of the Aristocrats, both British and US.

Cheers, George

I am perfectly ok with nuclearblast being a shaving idol.
