Up for auction is this Excellent condition Vintage 1916 Gillette Aristocrat Safety Razor. This razor is known as a 3-piece open comb razor. It is the first Aristocrat in a long line of Aristocrats. It is also called the “Bell handle” for the bell shaped flair at the base of the handle. This razor is in great condition with no dings, or dents. There is appears to be very minimal plate wear and the teeth are not bent, cracked or missing. There are no cracks in the handle tube which is often common with this type of older razor. The Date code is D271407 produced in 1916. The razor is Silver plated and shows some tarnish. It will polish up beautifully but I will leave that to the happy new owner if they so choose. The case is called French Ivory and is in wonderful condition with no chipping on the edges. The hinge looks to have been repaired some time ago but hard to notice. This set also comes with two matching blade boxes, one for new and one for used blades. The inside of the case is very clean and damage free. The clasp shuts nice and snug. It is a great collectable piece for your showcase or for use. It is a wonderful example of the Gillette safety history. If you choose to try it out it is a very nice shaving razor and this type of razor gives a smooth, clean and comfortable shave. This is one of those hard to find razors
