The British red-tip Rocket is, IMO, the rarer and more desirable option. It has a gap that opens up above the winder knob as the silo doors open and close. This doesn’t occur with the Superspeed which, despite being English, reflects the US winder mechanism. My experience indicates the Rocket provides a better, closer shave.

Here you go. Maybe it's still available?
Superspeed. The Rocket version is better, IMO.

Since you like to air the contents of private messages, here we go.
You sent me an offer of $145 which I politely declined.
Then you said $150, to which I could not agree.
Then you said: "Priority Shipping?"
And before I could decline that (as Im based overseas), you said:
"What all does it come with?"
So I decided I do not want to receive any more PMs from you
because it is very clear what I am selling here.
Strangely, 2 minutes after that, I received a message from another buyer
who wanted it, no questions asked. But he had just signed up to an account, so
I turned him down.
I've had dozens of transactions on shaving forums with glowing feedback so
there is no need to trash someone just because you did not get what you wanted.

You should have jumped at $145 because it’s not worth near that. Thank God that you’re an odd duck as it made me come to my senses.
What’s wrong with asking questions? I’d have been putting my money on the line and want to know certain things.
As far as me not getting what I wanted, I was more shocked at your strange behavior than anything. Honestly it would have been a regretful impulse buy. Once again, thank you for not selling it to me. Good bye.

How would you know what its worth?
By your own admission: "Im just getting into the history of this hobby."
Saying "what all does it come with?" when I have clearly spelled it out in words
and photos is a bit odd, unless you also want the towel I placed the razor on.
It's an old trick to sneer at things that elude you.
Good luck.
