That's a nice looking Gillette post-war one-piece, but I don't believe it's a Milord. Looks more like a 45/46 Aristocrat. See below:3 October
Had an early start today so reached for the mid 40s Milord. Gillette apparently used real gold at the time but applied it with a thickness of about one atom. Amazingly, it still has most of its original gold finish. The box is ok but is in a more worn state than the razor.
Super quick creamy lather from ARKO and cheapo synthetic brush, first time for me with this soap and brush but really impressed.
Wilko by Gillette blade, two passes plus pick up, quick shower and dab of Gillette face gel; perfect way to start the day.
Enjoy the moment fellas!

Get well soon and stand down wind!Early morning shave

Razor- Rockwell 6S r4
Soap- SV felce

Blade- Treet platinum
No photos today. Not yet bored of this set up as it gives exceptional shaves -the stubble doesnt come back for something like 12 hours. Havent showered for 72 or so hours since having a bilateral hernia operation on Thursday . I had a Croydon shower( no offence to anyone from that part of UK) - Lynx deoderant sprayed generously over my parts. Ive got to keep the key hole surgery glue holes (x3) dry and so have in the spirit of both austerity( electricity bills etc) as well as to ensure nothing goes wrong kept away from the shower . Lovely day. Have a good weekend.

Another super smooth shave with the Ascension, and the delightful Signature Soaps Wicstun. I never thought an OC could be this smooth a shave. I’ve gone back to using my 3-D printed bowls and all my soaps are lathering up so much more easily. It’s definitely a time saver in the week, the Captains choice bowl will likely hit the BST this week!
Certainly looks that way, unfortunately there is no name inside the lid of my box, maybe worn away with age? The box though looks very much like the Aristocrat box. I like the coloured fotos, very informative. Where do these come from?That's a nice looking Gillette post-war one-piece, but I don't believe it's a Milord. Looks more like a 45/46 Aristocrat.

The Milord was a different one-piece of the same era. See Below:
