Gillette Aristocrat

I'm a woman and shave with vintage Gillette Rocket HD and Gillette Aristocrat razors from the UK.

Parent context: It is a 4 on the other side and thank you looking forward to trying it. Reply: O-4 would be October-December 1969 production. It is a great shaver. Enjoy.

Congratulations on finding a beautiful razor.

Nice Gillette Aristocrat it’s the gold finished version of a Gillette Super Adjustable 109”.

My favourite razor. Just about any blade, but mine seems to prefer Astra Green

Absolutely! It is incredible. It is quite a bit more aggressive than my 34c, so it has forced me to really learn my technique, but it has a nice pay back! It makes for an impressive shave.

Are you enjoying that beautiful Aristocrat? My favourite vintage razor

I went ahead with it today, seems to be in excellent condition considering it's likely 70+ yrs old! The plating seems a bit worn on the head but that seems reasonable. It butterflies smooth, no issues opening it up. I'm pleased!

All in all, these are fabulous shavers that many folks like to collect I have a 1946-47 version of the razor and like it very much.

Nice find, good condition and good price. Enjoy shaving with your new Aristocrat.
