Looking at Mr. Razor, it looks like a British Rocket. Can anyone confirm? I think I will get it re-plated soon.

    Looks like a rocket hd500... depending on weight. That would be 74g.

    It’s a HD rocket. I love the shave from it. I can’t tell how bad the plating is but I would polish it up and see how it comes out that way

    It does shave real nice. I need to pick up some better polish I’m sure, but what I do I have I tried and it didn’t seem to help. The doors are the only bad part of the plating and I wouldn’t say it is all that bad.

    Yes at HD 500 a very smooth shaver. They come in full nickel and Aluminum - handle only. From the pic it looks like aluminum to me. If so it will be in the under 60 grams and will complicate a replate.
