I bought this one through ebay from a gent in Luxembourg a few years ago without knowing what I could expect, and it's a great shaver. I stumbled onto a wonderful razor. This is the Patent Pending model that weighs 75.7g. I am mostly seeing other Rockets that are only 71g. I am under the impression this one came out around 1953-54? Hoping someone with a full understanding of these razors can tell me a bit more about the origins and history of this one. I am also interested in maybe getting an Aristocrat 58 (?) that would be the heavier model, to match my Rocket if there is such a thing.
Edit: I've done some searching today, and here is a link to an SMF thread from a while back that possibly identifies my razor as an HD 500 or a Double Ring. I haven't found any reference to the differences in weight (mine is 75.7g). I also found a reference to a #59, but haven't had an opportunity to research in that direction.
