dodgy said:antdad said:I like my '34 too Martin, assuming you mean the English Aristocrat's other than being rhodium plated they're not that special to me as shavers at least.
The same heads are actually available on other less revered razors which I personally prefer especially the thiner handled versions of the aristocrat junior, poplar and the knurl pattern of the #58, that's just me though.
What's doin Tony,
I probably shoulda mentioned the #16 is the only UK made Aristo I've tried. From what I understand it's got a heavier baseplate than most others, which most likely contributes to it's 80g weight.
I know Slimbo's tried a #66 and maybe a #58 also and neither of those grabeed him all that much. There's a #16 on it's way to him, so maybe he'll be able to comment better on that particular model and any differences it may have from those other two models. Whewwww, long sentence.
I like the extra weight that the #16 carries....might make it a little more aggressive than what might be usual for that type of razor, but I can't say for sure. Have you tried the #16 and noticed any difference?
One thing I really like about that 1934 type is how mild it is for an OC type. Yeah, I even use one in my rotation.

You also tried a '39 Popular which if memory serves me right you were quite taken with..............:angel::angel:
