I picked up this Aristocrat for $39. I thought it was an okay price and looked to be in decent shape. It looks great for its age. I’d say it’s definitely a user grade but the patina is so interesting. There seems to be brass, this reddish orange gold color and nickel on this razor. The nickel looks to be on the bottom of the razor, edges of the doors and the caps. The reddish orange gold color is more so on the knurling. It’s interesting looking and is what drew me to the razor.
Is this is normal patina? Is it a frakenrazor? I haven’t shaved with it yet but it looks pretty good. I’ve noticed when the doors are open, the knob is a little loose. Pushing the knob up the doors extend a little bit more.
Looking at pictures from mr-razor it looks to be a 1947. The stamping on the bottom on mine looks like this one: http://mr-razor.com/Rasierer/One-Pi...t light brown case red satin inlet lining.JPG
Thanks for any help!
