hi guys,
I've got 2 razors I need ID on. I am aware there are three in the foto, and one's an Aristocrat, but what are the other two?
Their heads are very similar, and all three are British made, with no date code.

I've got two of the thick handled ones, and I'm thinking of selling one. They shave beautifully, smooth, and have incedible heft. They are on par with my Merkur HD, if not a touch smoother!

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Regards
Robert

Hi,

First is a Rocket 1940.
Second (in the middle) is a Rocket HD 1950's.
Both great razors.
Regards,
Alfred

I wouldn't sell any of these three unless I had a better condition one. :thumbup1:

OR I was switching to straight razors.:001_wub:

Thanks for your assistance guys.
I actually also have a British flare tip, which is also a great razor to use, and my normal daily razor which is a Merkur HD................but I must say the Rocket HD and the Aristocrat are my favorite by far.
I don't use the Aristocrat because it's in almost MINT condition. The fotos don't do it justice, but it's just the most amazing razor to look at in the flesh.

Thank you.
Regards
Robert

Robert,

If your pictures were a bit better, you'd be posting razor porn.

Enjoy 'em.
