    My Flair Tip Rocket collection total of seven razor's. With the acquisition of the Rocket TV Special in April 2017 the collection is (should be) complete. With the exception of the Blue Tip (USA) all Rocket's were obtained from the UK.

    1959 Rocket TV Special w/Rhodium handle and nickel head - Cased

    1960's Rocket Flair Tip w/American Super Speed Flat End Caps.

    It has no "S" marking (or other letter marking) on the lower tray; but it does have the "Made In England" marking and then the same Pat Date marking on the upper blade tray as a 50's Rocket - No case

    I recently acquired the flare-tip and HD Rockets, but haven't used either enough (yet) to fully appreciate them. Read nothing but good about them, though. Maybe for my next 30 day focus thingie.

    Either are superb shavers. It's one smooth devil and had nice heft to it too. You can't go wrong.
