bluetip rocket

[tacchini]

been on the lookout for one of these to complete the set, a bad pic on the bay of a brit bluetip, had a pop and won it, got it in the post today and its a brit bluetip superspeed,not too bothered as its in nice condition and was cheap, are these as rare as the rocket bluetip to get a hold of.

I would say it is in the same "rare" category.

There are more rockets than British made Superspeeds out there. Fantastic find!

Nice find sir!

I am not too sure about its rarity relative to the British blue tip rockets. I've seen a few of these pop up in eBay UK although not as regularly as the Rocket HDs. The blue tip rocket however, has been one of the most elusive razors and I've not been able to catch one in my searches so far. But your blue tip super speed is in a nice condition so enjoy

Don't blue tip rockets have a gap at the tto knob and the knurling when closed? I believe below is a Blue tip rocket...

yep the rocket has a gap, the pic of this one was with the doors open so i could not see the gap, i knew it was a brit gillette so was not too bothered, all the other brit flairtips i have are rockets, it would have been nice to get the bluetip rocket to complete the set.

Rare indeed. Thank also for the clarification. Congrats.
