On my short list of razors I wanted to acquire was a Gillette Rocket. Rob in Canadia came across a Gillette #51 Aristocrat Jr. that offered for trade. After looking at my Jayaruh brushes, he liked the #5. That one was already adopted, so I suggested I could make him a reasonable facsimile. He wanted a synthetic knot too, so I ordered a knot and began working on the handle. Well, yesterday, the Rocket showed up in the mail. What a surprise that was! I had finished the handle except for setting the knot. After a glitch, he decided on the Sunrise synthetic. I set it with silicone, and it is waiting a day before shipping off to Canadia.
