    Looks like Aristocrat Jr's (No 51). Here's a reference pic for you from Mr. Razor's site. If they are, they are fine razors. I keep one in regular rotation.

    The pat# is the give away on the jr. One of the best Gillette TTO's made. Great shaver.

    Yes it looks exactly like that how do the aristrocrat jr and rockets compare to the 40s super speed as I just got these yesterday and have only used the superspeed and there very nice before ?

    I've never used a 1940s SS, but I find the rockets are a bit more aggressive than their American relatives. I think you will enjoy them very much! Pretty much all my DEs are now either English rockets or aristocrats.

    So I just tried one with a silver blue and it just sucks to your face very smooth I like the weight of it but ill have to compare the three to see which I like best as its been a couple weeks since I tried the 40s style but there both very smooth
