Thread: Another Rolls Razor

There are usually 25 to 30 on ebay. Just watch for a cracked hone or dried out and torn strop. Also look for a good amount of rust on the blade especially the edge. There are some very nice ones out there. I found one unused that sold for $46. The least I have paid was for a orange and black box one from the 1930's for $17 so the prices do vary a lot!!!! Also ask the seller if the handle freely moves back and forth otherwise the handle will not work and you can't use the strop or hone. Use a light oli to lube the gears the handle rides in. Something like sewing machine oil.

Very nice find! I was curious how those shave...perhaps I should get mine cleaned up...I have a pair of them as well, although one case is clearly stamped "display model only" , which I take it to mean "do not shave with this".

They really are nice shavers when you get them hones and stroped. That most likely means the blade isn't sharpened if it's a display model.
