Awesome. As far as I remember, this razor has the same head as the #58 and the 4th gen Aristocrat..similar weights and handle / knob mechanisms also..:)

Oh, interesting.
Thanks for the information.

I knew the No. 58 had used what was essentially a differently knurled Rocket HD handle but I had no idea they also shared the same head.

It certainly feels just as hefty.
