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.

    It seems to be a 1949 aristocrat jr. Has a 430.030 patent. Hopefully it’s all good. The seller said it was “just a solid aristocrat”.

      Oof. Upvote for the info post regardless, but it’s giving me a ‘Failed to load image’ here.

      Jerboa for Lemmy, if that makes any difference.
