Nov. 15th: British Flare-tip Rocket, Astra SP (7)
It's a much better performer than I remembered. I should use it more often.
I think I somehow confuse the Rocket with my Black-handled SuperSpeed, which can be rough.
The British-made Gillettes seem to be made to tighter tolerances than their U.S. equivalents. Things like the butterfly doors being less floppy when half-opened make me think that.

I think it's a gorgeous razor with simple lines, and a good balance of efficiency versus mildness.
My favourite part is that "rocker" curved profile of the bottom of the base plate.

We could be Heroes, just for one day.
