Another excellent 50s Gillette shave today.
Mild and very efficient.

The Rhodium Rocket is noticeably even more efficient than the TV special which I used the other day.

The best way I can describe this razor is that it's like someone in the Iselworth factory took the TV Special design and made it their pet project to refine and perfect it in just about every way.
The fit, function, and finish is just that bit better than the already excellent build quality and performance of the US flare tips.


It's another muggy day here, so the Irn Bru scented soap provided a very enjoyable and refreshing fruity amber summer scent along with excellent glide for a smooth 3 pass shave.

Orange empire finished it off with a great sooth, citrus zing and warm amber finish.

Have a fantastic week, everyone!
