Been looking off and on for a Nickel Gillette Aristocrat English made Type or #21, or #15 Safety Bar v/s Open Comb. Keep checking auction sites, but most are beat un or pitted or scratched terrible.
What would you call your GRAIL Gillette Vintage?

Seen one is Nickel , think was on EBay guy was asking $1,500.00.
I would call it Norman.
Wow , that’s what I kinda figured 1k, way too much for me.
Either I'd call it Grial, or else I'd call it My Precious.
Double ring.
Pristine Senator or President.

+1 on the flat bottom Tech!
Although I prefer the WWII service issue version.
GRIAL razor. Not just Gillette.

The Bostonian.
It's a nice heavy OC razor with a fat handle built in the 20's. It had a unique case that raised the razor to display it when opened. They are fairly expensive normally going north of $200.

I'd almost be afraid to shave with such a museum piece.

If you can deal with less than pristine condition, they come up on eBay here and there for a lot less than that. I recently got mine for about $40-50. No blade box and the interior lining of the case is partially missing. Razor is in decent user condition, though.
I never looked to deeply onto getting one, because another razor always got in the way! Lol! But the few quick glances I made showed them to be pretty expensive. They were pristine for the most part, and they were in those cool "elevator" cases, which probably raised their price quite a bit.
Good to know they can be had for only 40
r 50 bucks. Someday I'll get serious about looking. Thanks!I never looked to deeply onto getting one, because another razor always got in the way! Lol!

On eBay at least, there's a huge price gap between the collector-grade Gillettes and the user-grade ones. Mine did come with the case, which I'll admit was part of the attraction.
A Bostonian razor by itself would probably be closer to $40, but I agree that the case is cool to get.
