Love the Single Ring! Congrats!
Nice razor, congratulations.
I saw it in the cabinet for $14 it made my day I almost ordered one a week ago off eBay for more glad I didn’t now should check out the Avon as haul I got from this same trip
Just arrived this afternoon. I need to find a proper handle for it.
Looks very clean. Which head is this?
It's a cheap Commie knockoff from China - W5J8. Got it from a US E-Bay seller.
It's flat, true, dimensionally bilateral. Looks like it's gonna give an efficient, yet smooth shave.

Chris! Good too see you! That's great. Wild find? I'm looking for a DR and s silver BF and I am done!
Good to see you too, Adam! Not wild but just a random eBay search...
.....j/k!
Not a razor obviously, but I picked up a nice vintage Wilkinson Sword brush today for a couple of euros, boar I think, feels like it will be a good face latherer. It's just had a wash so it looks a little ragged.
Edit: After a quick Google, it appears they still make a similar version to this day, so it may not be that old actually, still a bargain though.

Got my first Aristocrat yesterday. Obviously a 46-47 model, mechanical in great shape but with the gold plating gone on the doors and some spots here and there, but the nickel plating under the gold is in great condition, no scratches or whatsoever.
Had to take it for a ride, and I was very pleased. Great results, mild but still effective.
I compared it to my Super Speed -47 and the head looks identical, but I still believe the feeling was different, more music from the blade and I could feel the blade more. Probably placebo though since it's identical heads.
I also gently cleaned and polished the case with a wax based shoe cream, it made a remarkable difference!
Thinking about if I should try and restore the case inside, but maybe hard to get it right and good looking.
