Hi, can someone tell me the difference between a Aristocrat jr, Superspeed and Rocket because from the photos they all look pretty similar to me? I guess there is a weight difference but the heads look similar.

As far as I can tell the Aristocrat Junior has the same head as some of the regular aristocrats and is more aggressive than the Superspeeds or Rockets. It also has much more heft due to the flat base plate and heavier handle.

I think Superspeeds and Rockets are very similar, Rockets were made in/for the UK, Superspeeds were made in the USA.

Trouble is an AJ is still a Rocket by classical definition...

Thanks for the links Antdad especially the shave den one. Very informative post.

Fallen out of love with my Gillette adjustables, the Aristocrat avenue may have to be my next venture after I unload the adjustables.
Can't seem to find a better vintage shave than the New! do you Aristocrat owners feel they shave more like the adjustables ie: fatboy or slim or more like the fixed head models?
