Ha Thomas, no ‘maybe’ in that statement

1930s No25 set with unusual baseplate.
Or as like to call it:
"English flat bottem tech with teeth"

I told myself that I was going to limit my TTO collection to Super Speeds but here is my first Aristocrat. I guess it called to me.
Nice, be prepared for more Aristos to follow, hehe!
I have already decided that I need to try one with an open comb. Another rabbit hole!
Beautiful Aristocrat. Thanks for sharing the photo. I have a 1936 Aristocrat (open comb), which has a case that looks a lot like yours. I love the combination of TTO and open comb. May be my favorite razor. You should definitely go for an open comb Aristocrat.
A worthwhile evening on the bay 
Won these 2 sets - a gorgeous Le Coq set with a cute model I never saw before - and in superb condition. If anyone has more intel on this model I would be most happy!
And on top a 3rd generation Gillette Aristocrat #15 set won much cheaper than feared. The case is very poor on the inside but I was only after the razor for my rare French case. The French set is a matched set which was only sold in the French market sometime in the 1950s or maybe even early 1960s - it will look like the last pic (my case with one of my other 3rd generation razors).
Happy shaves!

Lovely LeCoq. Only intel I have is if the caged head is 10 on the efficiency scale, then the safety bar model is 11.
The only info I have on the Le Coq set is that you out bid me.
Sorry Richard
If you are right Adam, then I may not be the right owner - with my soft little face...

No worries Peter, they are really blade forward, but smooth, just ride the cap.
