Hello,
This is my first post so a brief introduction. I bought my first DE razor (some Merkur) about 10 years ago in University. I didn't do well with it so stopped until last year. For some reason now I am having much better results. I just recently bought a Rockwell 6C which I like.
I have inherited three razors from my grandparents estate. Photos below. Using the articles from this site I have identified them as follows.
Left to right:
Lady Gillette - 1973
Gillette Fat Boy Adjustable - 1959
Gillette British Rocket - 1940's
My grandfather was in the Canadian Navy during WW2. I wonder if the Rocket was with him when he sailed around the UK, or if he acquired it before or after his service?
