I also thought of that. It probably won't be hard to make up one, not metal like the original, but of foam and/or cardboard. If you want, I'd give it a shot.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. I'll probably take you up on your offer after it arrives. Thanks!

I saw a reasonably priced Feather Portable and picked it up.

You can piece one together really easily.

Thanks to @twhite 's recommendation, I am now waiting on some Tabac After Shave.

Good stuff. Next you'll need to get the Eau De Cologne.

I finally found my open comb Gem Damaskeene and got it at a reasonable price. It has a case in good condition and a stropping handle. It should be in my mailbox by the end of this week.

I’ve been searching for a decent and affordable OC Damaskeene for over a year and two came up on eBay on the same day. Go figure!

Oh man... It's on my 'list'. Great score.

Waiting on this Flare Tip Rocket.

The rocket is a great razor. You’re going to love it!

Waiting for 2 razors, ordered friday, shipped yesterday:

Qshave Parthenon Black (after a tip from a member here )

In a kit with stand. (there is a pic of the kit, but I like the black handle more, so just the razor)

And a Gillette Slim Adjustable from Q1 1967 (sellers pic, nicked and put on own website)

Good for you I did not see that. It may not have gone for a reasonable price. Congratulations.

Thanks. I've heard they're smoother than regular super speeds.

Herm

I had one and I really couldn’t tell the difference. But it was a great shave maybe your experience will be different.

Look up the word “cheap” in the dictionary and you’ll see a picture of me.

I have two rockets, 1940’s style and love them. I find them to be smoother shave, but that could be due to the weight. The TTO mechanisms are silky smooth too. Think of a higher quality US made super speed. That’s a British made rocket.

It looks like a 1946-47 Aristocrat. That is a fine razor.

Hahaha this may be the best post on this thread!

You got a 1948-1950 version.
