A Gillette Aristocrat popped up on marketplace near me. I’ve only used my Merkur 34C and (now broken) 39C. No experience with vintage Gillettes.

Are they generally okay to use? I shave 1-2 times a week. That includes head shaving which was wondrous with the Sledgehammer, but the 34C is just average.

I wouldn’t need to get it replated would I? I can see it’s not rusty, and the pictures look fine just obviously old.

    Thanks for that. It obviously wasn’t an aristocrat since it didn’t have the barber pole handle. And SDF went down all day so I couldn’t get back on here.

    So I kept looking around, and checking the Mr razor information, it’s almost definitely it’s a 1949 aristocrat jr.

    Anyway, I bought it so I’ll see better it’s condition when I get it, but the pictures looked like it’s just old and worn.
