The once in a Blue moon razor that went unoticed...

Well it looks like an ordinary blue tip Super Speed in need of a good cleaning right? So what is so why am I posting about this? The seller stated the patent # in the description as "MADE IN ENGLAND PAT. NO. 694093". I think you guys can figure out what it really is...

I take it not a normal blue tip....

I guess I'll sit back and get edumacated.

I'm thinking "Frankenrazor."

 

[bearbear]

...would that make it a franken razor? Blue tip on a flaretip rocket?

 

[Fnord5]

It's a Tan tip painted blue.

Bingo! It is a blue tip rocket, unless it happens to be an English blue tip SS which might even be harder to find than the blue tip Rocket.

Great post. There seems to be an endless number of different razors, even though they stopped making them nearly 40 years ago. Which adds to the fascination of wet shaving!

Well put. You think you've seen it all, then someone shows his aluminum #66, etc...

Yes, and it adds to the excitement of wandering through antique stores or in some cases more like junk yard sales to see if there's something new (to me). It's always interesting to see how some of them can clean up from barely recognizable as a razor and look nearly new again.

Yes. And those rhodium babies excel at that, don't they?

I haven't come across a rhodium, just silver and gold plated, aluminum, and brass where the plating was gone.

Nice snag Scotty! Make sure to take plenty of photos so we can drool over it!

With British razors, are you supposed to shave the left side of your face first?
