Scored a 1953-54 Rocket HD

A buddy gave me a bag of old razors about six years ago. Took a quick glance and saw a few 40s style Super Speeds, a fat handle Tech, and a Gem Micromatic, all in what appeared to be in rough shape. Got them out last night and found one of the Super Speeds to be heavier and styled slightly different. Turned out to be an English Rocket HD from 1953-54 and in fairly good condition.

Cleaned it and shaved with it this morning. MAN! This thing has got it going on! Very close yet gentle shave.

Beautiful!!

Thanks for sharing.

One of life's pleasant surprises. Congrats!!

Those are great shavers!
I have a #58 and it rocks!
