What's better than a $5 razor? In your case, two $5 razors ;-)
NICE!
I need to go back. He has more lol.
I picked up a Clix with a metal head at a flea market today. I also brought home a Kriss Kross razor and stropper, also a very nice Twin plex. The Clix is a lot heftier than I thought it would be.
Luckily they couldn't mismatch the slim head.
Pictures or didn't happen!
Love the KK stropper. It is just a fun piece all around. I have one of those and I ask have a twinplex that was my Grandfather's. It's missing part if the pewter blade holder but still functions! Nice catches all around.

Yeah lol. Never say never...
The Slim I think is a Super Adjustable. It goes from 1-9, but I dont know much about them. Really good shape though.
As for the rest, they're slowly regaining their shapes. Just a quick polish so far but this is a nice razor.
Thank you sir, I never know what I'm going to find. It's great that you have something like that of your Grandfathers.

As you requested....
The First Generation Aristocrat (aka The Bell or Flair End Aristocrat)
The New Improved Aristocrat
As I previously stated, there are three distinct generations of the early Aristocrats.
Cheers,
Kevin

Thats nice...
Thanks. It is. Wish I had a razor. I do have Mrs. Keendogg's Grandfather's razor though.
Kevin, I was addressing the NI Aristocrat, not the OT one.
The knirling of the knob is the same as the handle. That's the early version when the aristocrat was on the market.
Check this out:
Here is a the original ad:
I know it's just a drawing, but this was the original know Gillette produces for all their razors. Later on they changed it for a better grip perhaps, and since the aristocrat model was offered only in the beginning of the era that is the more common type of knob you can find that set with.
In all other types of NI sets there mjority of razors came with the late pattern knirling - New Standard, Bostonion, Richwood, Trveller.
Of course, there was exceptions like always when Gillette is involved.
That knirling you show is late version of the razor.

You are 100% correct.....
I neglected to include the 1st Generation New Improved Aristocrat....
That would correctly make it four generations of early Aristocrats.
A tip of the hat to you sir!
