British made 'Aristocrats' are of the most sought after razors in the Gillette stable, they are collectable as they are quite hard to find, and they appeal to many on account of its appearance and quality of shaves. The British made models are more sought after as their build quality was better in terms of materials and finish than those of their their American counterparts, They were introduced in 1948, this specific razor was one of the first rolled off the production line as the '21' model and is in great condition. It has no signs of plate loss, corrosion or deep scratches, and it looks just shy of new, one can see how the British made razors built their reputation! This model has no centre guide bar that set its apart from the later models, it has a durable Rhodium finish.
My wish is that I would look this good at 76 years old!
