Nice shave, Paul. As noted elsewhere in the comments, your razor looks a lot like what we in the US call a Super Speed. They're stamped with a code that tells us what year and quarter they were manufactured. As I was born in October of 1952, I knew to look for the code denoting manufacture in the last quarter of 1952. I managed to nab two of them, both great shavers.
My shave today was Barrister and Mann Spice shaving soap, an Above the Tie aluminum straight bar (medium exposure), a Gillette Silver Blue blade, a Paladin badger brush, some Thayer's Scentless witch hazel with aloe, and Barrister and Mann Spice aftershave. Sort of a throwback to my father's day, reminiscent of Old Spice. Very nice.
Great shave and lovely flowers. Not a sandalwood user myself but loads of others.

Hi Paul! Great shave! Thanks to Mrs. Humphrey for the wonderful flower display! What for a beautiful Razor and the soaps sounds great! Yes I have today a shave with the Parker Variant & the Erbe Solingen Ice Tempered, a German Blade! And this is my Video also today. I wish your both a very nice day and rest of the week!
Fantastic Video Paul, i have in the mornig a Wilkinson Shave. Best greetings from germany Paul. Have a nice day .😊🎸💈🎄☃️❄🎅
Hey Paul great Mid week shave 🪒. The flower arrangement is great.
It's amazing what scents can bring back memories from your past. For me TOBS Sandal Wood brings back memories of my grandfather.
The razor is a real looker. Great job on bringing it back. Have a great rest of the week. Take care
Hi Paul- Great Wednesday shave; thank you! Lovely flowers from Mrs H; many thanks to her, as always! I also have a Gillette Rocket- great razor with a nice weight and feel to it. 💈My shave of the day earlier this morning- PAA Cube 2.0, Maggard .70 SS razor head, with a Maggard SS M11 handle, Gillette Nacet (2), Denton Majik Unscented shave cream; Grizzly Bay 26mm brush, Humphreys Witch Hazel, Myrsol C aftershave. Have a great rest of the week. Be safe and be well. See you on Sunday for the weekend shave. All the best, Paul!
Hello. Enjoy your videos and Mrs. H does such and outstanding job on the flower display. I was born in Wales and we emigrated from South Wales to Canada when I was five. I can still recall my Welsh grandfather (father's side) shaving with a straight razor and using a leather strop to hone the blade. Funny how one remembers things like that. Anyway, enjoy hearing the accent as I don't get hear it much. Some of my relatives with that strong "valleys" accent require some translation at times...
Nicely done Paul💈💈 That razor looks like what we call a 1940's Super Speed, I have a couple and they are great shavers. The flowers are most seasonal, beautiful, thanks Mrs H. Can't go wrong with a sandalwood scented shave, gentlemanly IMO. Great video and results of the shave, smooth and clean. Enjoy!
superspeed range razor all shave very well, regards dapper shaves
Nice shave Paul, Nice Shaving Soap Suzi Banna sandalwood along the same lines as Tobs sandalwood but a little sweeter, it has the Reminiscents of the old Imperial Leather which had Cederwood as one of its heart notes it has that distinctive smell with that slight bitterness And reminds me of my Nan’s bathroom always had imperial leather in the soap bowl and my step grandfathers Gillette de razor on the window sill, you don’t see this shaving soap on many shaving channels in the UK and it is so good takes me back also, probably your picking up different olfactory scents to me it’s all subjective take care and enjoy the rest of your week 😀👍
That is one gorgeous razor! Nice brush and lather. I know how soaps can take you back to memories. Just a beautiful shave PaulH!
lovely razors,,regards dapper shaves
I have 2 of those razors, which were sold under the name of Gillette Parat.
I love the weight and the balance in the hand, so it's one of my favorite vintage razors. It could well be a daily driver.
Wonderful festive flower arrangement by Mrs H. Great seeing you again Paul. Take care!
Great shave, Paul. Earlier this year I purchased a 1911 Gillette Old Type from an antique shop near my house. Excellent condition for its age…no bent teeth or cracks in the handle. I often wonder its history and what it had to go through to end up in my hands over 100 years after it was manufactured. It shaves beautifully btw!
wow, what a great score. generally the handles are cracked.,regards dapper shaves
@@dappershaves Yes it was an incredibly lucky find! 👍🏼👍🏼 😊😊
Good morning. Beautiful flowers from mrs h. Very nice shave. I used that same cream a couple days ago. I really enjoy it. And your right, it has an old fashioned scent. Almost soothing i thing. And the lather is wonderful. I hope you and mrs h are doing well, and have a great week
Hiya Paul. Lovely flowers as always Mrs. H.
I just had a shave with the Occam's Razor with a Feather Pro Guard AC blade and Proraso Red Sandalwood Soap. Aftershave was Master Smokey Oud splash.
Paul, are you familiar with the Scott Rea Project on RUclips? He's an old school British Butcher. He does some great traditional cookery.
Another great shave Paul
I have the Gillette Rocket too. Lovely shave from it. 🏴👍
Great day to you , Paul
That's such a great razor! I borrowed one recently, and it shaves exactly like my English Aristocrat. It's my Goldilocks razor. Not too aggressive, not too mild. It's just right.
Everyone should try a late '40s-early 50s English Rocket. It's just a perfect shave.
That razor reminds me of the WS Classic 🪒
Lovely video again Paul. Just thought I'd let you know that Amazon has re stocked the double chins ready for Christmas. But this year they have a new matching treble neck for all us ageing athletes. 🏴👍
That is my every day driver, the Gillette Rocket!
Hi Paul I am a daily shaver and I used Sandalwood yesterday TOBS soap not cream I prefer soaps to creams and also prefer the scent of the soap.I finished with TOBS Sandalwood cologne. I do own a TOBS Sandalwood cream but the scent is a little overpowering for my taste.
Keep well and keep safe.
Regards to you both.
My SOTD same as yours Paul,the sandalwood sure is nice, and the Rocket.......
sandalwood is my favourite scent, regards dapper shaves
Hi, Paul. What you have there is a Gillette Rocket 500 HD. The so called "Parat" is a different razor. Thinner handle, made for the German market. "Razor" in German is "Rasier Aparat", from where the short "parat" comes from.
Idk some random shave today lol, meal sounds delicious. Great flowers display made by Mrs. H. shaving video great and fun. stay safe. Cheers...Peter
Good morning Paul! I have a razor that is identical to this in every respect (Made in England, Patent Pending, same handle and knurling) except that it is gold plated. Is it called a “Rocket” as well or did it have some other name at the time?
My sotd is pearl flexi with a wizamet super iridium blade, razorock 400 brush, Stirling Scot’s pine sheep and aftershave to match.
wizzy are very smooth and stirling is fantastic, great gear sir. regards dapper shaves
top video Paul !!
I just came into a Flare Tip Rocket with patent number (694093) It shaves great. Smooth aggression, as you say. I don't have a working US Super Speed razor to compare the Rocket to. Do you know if they were exactly the same? I know there were differences in other TTO Gillette razors.
I have a british rocket ny self, beutiful...
where did you got the blades from? Do you have a link?😍 Anyone else know where to get them?
is there a difference between US vs UK models? regards dapper shaves
@@dappershaves what? just Wonder where you buy them?
Hi Paul how can I send you a photo of my modded future razor with most of the problems eliminated
Hi, are you sure it’s a rocket? It looks like an Aristocrat Jr 51.
Όπως πάντα εξαιρετικός.
I have a Gillette Parat, which is just slightly different than the Rocket. It is German made, and the name is short for the word, apparatus.
Won’t be in work today
Why not!
Paul didn’t ring the boss and I’m too upset to come in now
This is hilarious because just prior to reading this, I called out... sick.
😂😂😂 regards dapper shaves
wow nice
I love my Rocket 🚀
Bore da Paul. 🏴👍
Hello there Paul! I think what you got there is a British Rocket Super Speed from a No.51 Set. They were made in 1950. It isn't the British Rocket HD type. It's a hybrid really because it has the British system where part of the handle retracts when you open the TTO, but it also has the US style thinner handle. Nice one!
It should weigh 64gms if it's a No 51.
