I just got this via Ebay:

There were some rust stains on the head and doors, which are mostly gone, and there was a little bit of blue corrosion between the knurling, which was rather stubborn until I used the side tab of a double edge blade to scrap it off. Overall, it's in excellent condition, although user grade rather than a museum piece.
I used it this morning with a Gillette Platinum with a white cardboard box and it is an efficient razor that is also gentle. It goes nicely along with my other Aristocrats:
Gillette No. 15
Early '40s US
Late '40s US
Edit: it's also the heaviest razor that I own, except possibly for the Fat Boy.
