flare tip rocket vs. 1940's rocket

Hello,
I wonder how the flare tip rocket shaves in comparison to the 1940's rocket. Is the flare tip rocket still superior to the US-made SS of the same time?
 
Hi, I own a Flare Tip and I do not notice any real difference in the shave. The English version is however, bult much more solid and seems to weigh more. It feels as if it has more weight in the head. Hope this helps?
 
The flare tip rocket is a more mild shaver compared to the double ring rocket of the early '50s (unless you find a rare Brit red tip flare rocket). I don't have a '40s rocket, I guess I was under the impression that the rockets were all early '50s.
Actually, if you want a more aggressive shave from a Brit, I would suggest the
#58, or a #16, both are excellent shavers and among my all time favs.
