What is this set? Real or mismatch British Aristocrat

[Mark1966]

I picked up a set recently in this case:

​

Now I've seen these with a #16 style flat bottom razor in them as the #21 set as shown on Achim's wonderful site:

My dilemma is that mine has a #22/66 style razor in it with the pressed base plate:

​

I thought originally it was a mismatch but I think I recall seeing another set like this around somewhere.

My brain is mush lately - if wiser heads can ID it I'd be grateful

here is 22 set

#66 bottom

 

[alex2363]

#66

I'm not an expert but I'm going to go with mismatch. I've only seen the #16,#21 in that style case.

All I know is that is beautiful razor in a beautiful case!

@alex - I think you have the #66 set in the first pics, the #22 is the black square case per below. The second pics are the gold plated #16 set.

although I also not that Achim has the #16 style razor in this same case:

You can see all the variations that Achim shows on his site here.

I think I tend to a mismatch BUT thought I'd seen this combo discussed previously.

It's easy to say mismatch, Mark, but Gillette was notorious for making oddball sets from leftover razors and cases -- so who really knows?

Mismatch or not, that set looks Sweet, if you don't want I ill take it

True! I do like to cross off another 'number' though!

LOL - always for a price, just a question of HOW MUCH you want it, and whether it is enough to tempt me

I´ve seen #16, #21 and #66 in that case.

... and I have a spare #16, #21 and the #66 that came with it. The question is really whether it stays as is or I swap one over!

Thanks for help guys

I have the same case as well, but mine has a #16 in it. For a while I thought it was a mismatch, until I saw other pics of the same razor with them.

That razor is most commonly known as a #66 and the case was most commonly used for a #21, so we'll call your set an #87.

may be, although I note it is a different colour interior. I also noticed a #15 in this case in a recent auction here.
