This is an item I could see myself buying but I would not want to alter it, just keep it in my den as a piece of history with a story.

Go for it, it's only money.

Tuesday April 7, 2026 (3 days in a row - lately unheard of!)

This was the first time out for my Aristocrat in well over six months, as I only recently finished unpacking my full den for display and easy access. It was also a full on Proraso sandalwood shave. Big love for P-Red, I just love that scent Also in attendance was my precious Snake Bite, and an Israeli Personna platinum chrome blade, aka Israeli / Personna Red . Rounding things out was my custom ordered BSSW Arley. Per Brad when I placed the order, it was at the time unique in his database, having the larger handle usually fitted with a 28mm knot; however this brush was built with a 26mm knot. Wonderful piece of kit!

Two passes for a fab gear shave, and looking forward to my next!
