Arrowhead said:Aah, I see. Do I take it that the flared version was introduced in '55 then (I understand that they continued into the '60's)? Although I still prefer the look of the 40's Superspeed / Rocket (no more ornamentation than you'd find on a centre punch), I'm rapidly coming round to thinking that the Rocket is the best shaving tool I own.
They did continue into the 60s - but the knurling patterns on the handle changed too - you can see it happen on the Superspeeds and it's not beyond the wit of man to think the Rockets followed a similar pattern (you see both British & US TV specials that are patterned the same, both released in 1958 for example)
