1940's Gillette Gold British Rocket [LD] Light Duty Safety Razor | Original Condition

A sought after razor indeed- the British 40's style Rocket. Incredible overall condition on this razor with nothing bent or broken- great mechanical condition. This is considered a light duty razor due to its aluminum handle. 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. 

This came to us in a big lot that was purchased and its really brought us back to the beginning of our Razor Emporium days. This razor was revamped in Gold by us back in 2010 when we first started offering the Revamp service. The razor really is in great condition and shows that our services can withstand being used as a daily shaver.  

*** This is not a new revamped razor, this was revamped back in 2010 by Razor Emporium. We have put it through our Tune Up Service though to ensure its Shave Ready for the next owner.***
