A sought after razor indeed- the British Rocket. Great overall condition on this razor with nothing bent or broken- great mechanical condition. Features worm gear style TTO mechanism - providing a very smooth open and close! Watch as the bottom TTO knob goes up into the handle as you open it and close it. The British designs for the Gillette razors were definately superior to many of their American counterparts.
