An uncle passed along three Rolls Razors to me as well, I'm thinking of trying the Norton out on those (dull) blades before my straights. Since the Rolls blades are simple and even, I think I can avoid worrying about my stroke technique and focus on grit progression, sharpness tests and stone prep at first.

Rolls blades are slightly different animals...
What will work on a Rolls is not going to be a technique
that works well for straight razors.

You can try stuff.... just do not mix
these two types of razors in the same post
except for the common bit of "latherin".
