    Hi Guys,

    Here's one of the best shavers around and a leading member of my rotation for some time. For those who know, no need to read on. For those who have not experienced the heft and precision of these English Gillettes, you're in for a treat. Simply a great shaver.

    Like the day I received it, this razor's exterior is in excellent++ condition. Sadly, that excitement was tempered when I opened the blade cavity. As you can see, it has a fair amount of brassing which I find peculiar (abandoned blade?) considering its otherwise great condition. For this reason, I can give it no better than very good condition overall and hope I've reflected this fairly in my asking price. I'm only interested in recovering some of my investment.

    A good addition to your collection or an awesome everyday shaver. Thanks for your interest! :)

    CONUS, First Class USPS with Delivery Confirmation. Paypal only, please!

    $50

    I no longer buy vintage razors but this one seems overpriced. You may consider dropping your price to attract more buyers.

    These British made HD Rockets are not that easy to come across. Great Shavers. Built to last. I must disagree with the previous comment regarding price. With the shipping it is reasonable. This razor only needs one buyer.

    Thank you for the clarification. It's like I said, I no longer collect razors.

    I think this is a bit overpriced as well. One just sold on here for 32

    One did sell for $32, but IMHO, this one looks to be in better condition, and the pics are certainly better. I've seriously been fighting picking this one up myself... i've never gotten my hands on a rocket.

    sol92258 I have no earthly idea

    yeah, I've never found one either, and this one looks super, but I can't proffer the clams right now....I'm not as lucky as Micah to find one in great condition, with leather case, for a song

    Thanks to everyone who expressed interest. :signs001

    Rodd, this one is brass - not the light Al version. :)
