    Went into a little junk shop in town earlier and left with this pair for £8, that's a little under $13.

    Both in the wrong tatty boxes but I think I'm right in saying that the on on the left is a Slim Adjustable (L4 1966) and the one on the right is a Superspeed (Brit pat 694093) with II stamped under the head.

    Bought to use and they need a good clean but the adjustable clicks round nicely and the doors both open smoothly.

    Damn I thought I had my RAD under control :rolleyes:

    I found a "Slim" last summer in about the same condition.
    But no corrosion.

    Cleaned up beautifully and is now retired in my lil collection.

    Very good find ole lad. I would say that the one on the right is a Rocket if it was made in england.

    :sihns011 It seems to be lurking right under the surface, and can strike when you least expect it.

    According to this thread http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9206 its an English Super Speed (#18) and is "uncommon" ; Which is nice :)
    (Although being in England I suspect they are easier to stumble upon.)

    So i see. The gap at the bottom where you twist is considerably smaller than the rocket. So i like i say, a nice find:D

    2 of my favorite shaving razors. They both shave as well as anything made today.

    Nice find! I thought I did good finding a SS Black tip at an antique co-op and I paid $8 US.
