    I got my first rhodium razor today. Yeeeee and Haaaaa!

    I went into a junky little antique joint and poked around. Didn't find a thing but I thought I would ask the 900 year old lady behind the counter if she had any shaving stuff. As dust came out sprinkled amidst her breath, she said she "I think so sonny" and started to dig around a bit.

    She took forever! I had to go and was getting impatient but thought I should hang around just to be polite. Eventually she came out with this really crappy filthy Schick plastic case and plunked it down on the counter. 'Ahh great. How do I tell her I don't need her junk' I thought.

    But there, literally glowing through the dirt and muck on the top of the clear plastic case was this exquisite British Aristocrat #66. It just smiled at me!!!!!! Yeeeeeee

    Since it is Rocket Week here at TSD, and it ends tomorrow, I am going to call it a SuperRocket just for tomorrow and go right ahead and carve me some hairs in style! (It is my birthday in the morning as well so I figure I must have had some good karma coming my way!)

    Does anyone know the production date range of the British 66??

    The proof is in the Putting!

    Well....I was born on a cloudy night just before the cows was brott in. There was one little cow me mammy wanted to check on out in the midst of the cow patties....

    Oh! Maybe you meant the razor!!! Hmmmmm. Good thing cuz that thar cow pattie picture went and got ett by the dawg.

    Ok, so I REALLY need a new camera for my BD more than I need another razor. These pics do suck - but it is all I can do these days.

    It is stamped 'Patent Pending' on the blade shelf. Under the head there is no serial number, but it has the Gillette logo and 'MADE IN ENGLAND'.

    Now if you want pics of the crappy Schick case you will just have to wait!!! I have to go drink my heavily laced morning coffee and conquer the day!!!
