A sought after razor indeed- the British Light Duty Rocket! Great overall condition on this razor with nothing bent or broken and great mechanical condition. For those who have not seen how a Rocket razor works, the TTO functions in a unique way by having the knob turn up into the handle. This TTO feels higher quality then its American counterparts!

A rarer razor to find in the US, and definitely not common over seas. This razor weighs 1.2oz exactly, 34 grams. Tray reads Patent Pending.

History: The Gillette Rocket came on the scene in the late 1940's and ran through continuous production into the 1980's. The Rocket was the British equivelant of the American Super Speed - named for how fast your shaves would be using this TTO model.
