I found this pic, and I just wanted to know if this is a SuperSpeed, or if not, what is it? It's a Gillette, made in England, that's all I know ;)

Also looking at another item, but no good pictures, yet....

Thanks for any input!

This is a Gillette Rocket, Flare Tip: the superior British version of the Super Speed. Nice!

Looks like a Rocket to me, too. Great razor.

Well that's good.. cause I just bought it :D

It was on ebay france, and at a price that is probably not bad.. 15 quid inc postage (17,50 euro)
The seller seems good, over 500 evaluations, 100% positive.

I'll let you guys know when it arrives!

I shave with the Rhodium plated TV version of this razor (I assume the only differences are aesthetic) and I find it to be one of my favorite, if not my favorite, razors with a safety bar.

what makes it superior?

(not stirring, thats a genuine question. I find the US Flare Tips too mild to use)

Thicker plating, better TTO design, heavier, and more solidly built.
