What did I just buy from France? Monobloc?

[Badkarma]

So I have been looking to get my British razors back that I regret selling. I saw this and my fingers clicked buy. What do you think? Any one have a rocket Or a 58 I would be interested.
PS I sold almost all my Gillettes to go down the straight razor rabbit hole. Wrong direction for sure. Double edge razor great shave every time. No strop no hone no no fuss.

Thank you in advance

That first picture on the left is the first time I've seen the Gillette "500" display. Now I know why the "500" was added to the name for the Rocket HD500 which is what you have. I ended up collecting most of the Rocket razors, but now they're just sitting in a drawer unused.

Here's a good source for the Rockets.
