Hi Garry, that’s a lovely example mate. I have the US version. You’re lucky to have the Canadian version. I hear they’re quite sorted after.

thank you Paul. from what I understand,it's(1953) the only year Gillette Canada made a tech in gold.production of all Canadian razors stopped at the end of 1954.the U.S made gold techs from 1940 -53?..

Gillette Aristocrat (15) OC DE Rhodium Plated Brass Circa 1930s (England)
It's not perfect but it's a great shave.

looks to be a 1938-9 model with that baseplate pat #.mine is 1939-40 ish with same patent # .but no markings on the handle.earlier ones had a 400621 pat # on the baseplate and mostly silver plated.Our razors are rhodium plated.

British New RFB



A nickname coined by collectors that describes the reinforced base plate.
This was to accomodate a permanently fixed handle tube like a Single Ring Old Type razor.
They also came in three piece like the one below it.

Great info Gary and a lovely example.
These earlier models in my book were the benchmark for the later DE's in this line of razors.
Cheers.
