    Help identify this Gillette please for a friend. I don't have it with me and it's still being shipped to h so not a lot of details but y'all are smart enough for guessing :D

    It is a British Rocket Parat in the original case. Nice. Came with a blue blade dispenser if the pic I have is correct.

    Considering the above post I wonder if the German set had different blades or if all the cases of that type were made in Germany? @Dave in KY, what is on the bottom of the case? Appears that the flyer in your pic is also in German. Curious now if there were any of the same set made in England?

    As I stated I do not have it in my possession nor does he and there were no pictures of the bottom.

    No worries since the flyer is printed in German the case bottom probably has made in Germany like the example above. I suppose we won't know if there is a UK cased version of the same set until someone posts a pic of one.

    There is no flyer in my picture I think you have mine confused with the one that Gary put up :happy088:

    this set was for the brit market,though all the razors are brit made.the earlier rockets/aristocrat jrs had the slightly larger twist knob.

    Oops, German flyer is in MY pic under the razor. You can only see a sliver of the print but it is the same as the one Gary posted. Methinks the glass of Kombucha from my last batch has a bit more alcohol content than usual. :)
