Is it a No. 15 Aristocrat built with a Popular comb? Is there any difference between an Aristocrat (No. 14-15) and Popular comb except for markings?

May I ask, are you the lucky one? If so, congratulations. And could you post a shot from the side of the cardboard box? :)
I'm curious if it's called a No.14 or 15 or something else?

Nope, not me. Way too expensive with international exchange rates. I did manage to bag this one last year :) Safety Razor Acquisition Thread.

I would expect it to say No. 15 (which is what those boxes usually say), but the case is that of the No. 14 set: http://www.mr-razor.com/Rasierer/One-Piece open comb/1930s Aristocrat No14 from Steve Cordess.jpg

Maybe it's this unique combination that got the buyer to pay so much for it.

Thank you. Wondering why did Gillette add the folded back tabs under the end pieces lacking from your Aristocrat?
