Bump.



Also I am being hard on the rating of this razor . it does have a mirror finish . and I would not recommend it as a daily shaver .if it does not sell in the next 2 days it will be put on the bay .

Also I may be willing to trade it if you guys have some thing that is in equal value .

Hey guys, just an observation but that is the 50's style Rocket that is much scarcer than the 40's style. I already have one of these and can not afford another. They shave better than thier American counterparts. The 50's US models and on were nothing to write home about. This one is pretty good. Combine that with the scarcity and you have a generally undervalued razor. Congradulations to whoever picks it up as it is a great find, especially in this condition.

I just picked up one of these recently and it arrived Friday. Had my first shave with it and love it. I have another British rocket that is also quite nice, but I think this model will quickly edge it above the double ring in my rotation. If it were me, I'd buy this to use it. It's a great shaver and has an excellently textured grip when wet.

It really is a great shaver I just did not have the heart to use this much it just looks so good.

I believe I used it once or twice when I first got it .

Well last day tomorrow it will go on the bay so if you want it act fast

Folks this is a great razor. I agree with Nick that he is being a little hard on the rating judging from the photos. I've got three or four of these including one pristine example (that never gets used just sits around and says "I'm pretty") and I can personally attest to the shave quality and finish build. In this condition that price is more than fair. If you're thinking of waiting to see how it fares on Ebay just remember you may do better but you'll be swimming in a bigger puddle and the Brits-all Brits-are smokin' hot right now!!

+1 on Mark's post. One point i would like to stress or re-stress here is do not compare this with the American SS. I guess that is the hesitation when you see this razor and the price tag. One shave with this and you will know that you got your money's worth. (Ok Nick paypal me the 15% of the profits, endorsement fees as promised..)

Snipp..... (Ok Nick paypal me the 15% of the profits, endorsement fees as promised..)

I never said 15% i said 7% what are you trying to pull
