A Sticky Situation
Note the difference between the Sticky sold in Europe on the left and the North America one (US? Canada? Both?) on the right.
The end caps are different also.
So are the safety bars (Europe on left).
A new razor? For me?
The razor comes with a presentation card.
This "new" Sticky came with the original sealed blades in the compartment on the bottom of the case.
The razor won design awards. You can see why, this razor still looks modern almost 50 years later.
The manual. Yes, you will get to read it.
The three musketeers!
Ready to mow down some whiskers!

Gillette "English" Aristocrat No. 66 (in gold)
Razor shown with snap case and presentation case
Close up
Silver and Gold -- Not really silver, but it sounds good
This gold Aristocrat seems to be quite rare. I have been unable to track down any specific information regarding year of manufacture or what its "proper" name might be.

Gillette Executive
Box, case, and instructions
The instructions that came with this set proclaim it to be "the world's most luxurious shaving kit" (if you look carefully at the instruction sheet in the photo above, you can just make that out).
Razor in case
There is a flip down mirror connected to the lid of the case. This set came with 50 blades. There are two packs of 20 concealed behind the mirror, and a pack of 10 by the razor. All of the blade packs that you see are still unopened.

A Couple of real GEMs!
A couple of real GEMs Not sure of the exact years. If you know PM me and I will put it here. The white handle is called a Featherweight. The black handle is the Push-Button and was marketed to guys with heavy beards. James(With The Grain) found an original ad for it and it looks like the 50's I put it below the pics. Thanks James!
