    Razor: Gillette British Rocket SS-Mfg 1950's NDCodes, Excellent mid range<, excellent combo with a Kai SS IMO.
    Blade: Kai SS (7) excellent blade, Sharp & smooth. Wider than a standard blade(.009inches)= excellent results today!
    Soap: Razorock The Dead Sea- Excellent scent + excellent lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi artic Sky knot 24mm synthetic- Excellent lather creator + cloud like soft tips. One nice brush IMO.
    Pre Shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave: Razorock The Dead Sea aftershave with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG]Excellent shave with my Gillette British rocket SS + KAI SS blade.

    Well learned something new today, I did not know that. I have a USA SS or Rocket that looks similar but has a hollowed handle were the British version has a closed end. I get good shaves with the Rocket even without the Kai blade. The Kai blade just makes it easier to receive the desired shave IMO.

    very cool.the hollow handled one is a superspeed..If it doesn't say "made in u.s.a" on the bottom of the base plate it would be a later rocket..
