I went on a British Aristocrat purchasing spree. Can anyone tell me what I've bought?

[_MementoMori_]

I admit to not knowing a lot about them, but I'm powerless against the call of rhodium. I'm waiting on these to arrive from ebay:

It looks the top one is a #66, but I don't know about the other one. I'd also be interested in knowing whether they appear to be in the correct cases. I'm at work and don't really have time to peruse Mr. Razor, where I'm sure the answers can be found.

Thanks!

That second one is a #21 if I'm not mistaken an it looks to be in the original nickel plated case.

Looks like you picked up two fine razors at a very reasonable price.

Best Wishes

#21 and #66...sweet razors

 

[rxonmymind]

Very nice on the second one. whew! You barely beat out the second place bidder with the SAME Id & ebay numbers. Lucky you.

Thanks for posting the pics, Alex. I'm looking forward to starting out a Brit. collection with these two. I've got just about all the American Gillettes I want.

I saw that second one on the bay, £105GBP, phew! and to think my #15oc was a mere £60 plus a tenner for a case from Achim. Still my most expence DE razor todate though.

Enjoy your pruchases there.

I agree it was a little expensive. However, I had just sold a razor a few days prior for... a LOT! I had the spare funds for it or else I'd have bowed out much earlier.

I thought the top one, that is the one you STOLE from Down Under is a #22 in that case, see Achim's site here.

Same razor just different case. So I have you getting a #21 and #22 - a sequential start to your collection.

Oh, BTW, did the Aussie seller inform you of Australia's Vintage Razor Export Tax? It can be quite high, you might want to reconsider your purchase and pass it on to the second highest bidder ....

Am I understanding this correctly? No way did I outbid YOU on a razor. No way!

Yes you did sir. Mind you I do have one already ....

 

[ERVARGASNY]

Awesome finds, Those are some real Beauties,

 

[alex2363]

Mark, dont you have like every razor ever made? Why do you want another one.

Mark, dont you have like every razor ever made? Why do you want another one.

One to collect and one to shave with? Or in Mark's case, 10 to collect and 10 to shave with?

I was wondering if that was your Darwin Deluxe that sold, things worked out well!

They did. I was hoping to break the Darwin record though, and I fell short of that by around $200. Still, I'm happy. I got a new guitar, TWO replacement razors, and I paid off a little credit card debt!
