Rocket

[SUNA]

I went through the B&B wiki and didn't find what I was looking for. What is a Gillette Rocket? Is it not just a SS flaretip that was made in England?

BTW...this board has been incredibly awesome so far. Lots of assistance and lots of great people to deal with!

Mr Razor is a site that is very useful, with pictures of different kinds of gillettes, organized by head type.

The British Rockets differ from super speeds in the tto knob. US models have a crimp in them to hold the knob at the same spot while opening. British models have knobs that move up and down. (edit: there are other differences, but that's the one I consider most significant)
