I've noticed many posts highlighting mint condition razors and it's great to have them, but razors don't have to be perfect to be functional. I thought it would be nice to show razors that don't look pretty, but provide great shaves. There are a couple in my den that are good examples.
First is a NDC Aristocrat that I got in lot with 3 other razors that I sold individually. The razor is missing endcaps, has a lot of plate loss and the TTO knob could use some tightening. Still shaves about as well as a Red tip though.
The other is a Slim adjustable I-2 with a broken clicker and a little plate loss. I calibrated it by moving the adjuster plate as high as it would go and setting the dial at 9. I keep it set at 5 and it shaves great. Thought about getting a replacement part, but it doesn't seem worth the price.
