I feel like these guys are under rated,Well based on the evil influence of @Nanook giving me a Flare Tip Rocket and a Tech thereby creating a new addiction I picked up a Super Speed 1957 C1 at a very reasonable price that looks to be in very good condition ... now just waiting for it to come ....
I need to grab an English made one at some point.
You must get the English version, because, there vintage razors shave are very different from the American vintage razors side by side.

I'm glad someone thinks so as well. I've always thought this but was thinking it just might be in my head

I’ve got one, I had it refinished years ago and it does shave great but I think the adjustables aren’t quite as good as razors as the fixed but that’s just meGet yourself a Gillette Fatboy. They are a fantastic razor

I get it- actually my fatboy is a bit special to me.I can't help it. Twist to open, adjustables are a weakness of mine
It was my mates dads, he found it in a bucket and it was gross AF I completely disassembled got it replated and reassembled it.. very much an overcapitalised razor lol

I've owned a British Gillette Flare Rocket and also a British Red Tip, they're both feel and shaved different against the American Flare Tip and Red Tip.I'm glad someone thinks so as well. I've always thought this but was thinking it just might be in my head
Because, I have both British and American in my den. British Red Tip has cost me my kidney, seriously .... Ouch!
@Ferret619 do you have a British Gillette Rocket HD 500 in your den? It still available online, if, you know where to look.

$18 well spent maybe.
It’s been probably 4 years since I had one and I remember liking it.
Not sure why I didn’t replace it sooner..
We all make mistakes when we sell our razors, and it’s okay to try again when you’re lucky for the right price online.
