Hi,
I have recently purchased a 1965 (birthyear) Gillette Slim and a 1961 Fatboy love them both.
I have them both set at 5.

Im hopping to get myself an English made Gillette non adjustable in the near future. Can any one suggest what one to go for? Looking for one that shaves similar to Fatboy and slim set at 5.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance. B.
 

Are these the same as Gillette Rocket?

I will keep my eyes open for one of these at the right price. Im not bothered about boxes/ cases just looking for a practical and functional razor.

Anyone else with more options for razors.

Cousins of the Rocket would be an appropriate description.

The No 59 / HD500 is also well regarded and similarly priced:

All the razors I've mentioned are shade more aggressive than a standard rocket, but a close match with an adjustable on 5
