    In today's shave, I placed the head more on my skin, riding the cap extra, you could say. It was a little milder than the usual angle, and very efficient.

    A few items arrived early this morning, just in time to for today’s shave.

    WCS SS handle. I’ve been eyeing this handle for a while.

    WCS Toothsome Baseplate (by Charcoal Goods)
    I already have the Brawny baseplate (the more aggressive version of the Lithe baseplate) and top cap so just wanted to try the open comb.

    Beautiful razor. What makes this a Rocket and not a Milord?

    Thank you Joseph. I suppose it's really a hybrid of both a Rocket & a Milord. The tto operates with a brit action by extending/receding within the handle vs. the fixed tto knob on the Milord. I also believe it's the only US made Gillette to use the pointed British style endcaps. Unlike brit Rockets the tto knob is open on the end vs. solid.

    Found these 2 swap-meeting today
    Pretty rare find 1941 Ranger Tech and 1946-47 Aristocrat. I am cleaning them now. The Aristocrat is user grade well used, but functions like a champ. The Tech should clean up really well. [​IMG][​IMG]
