No, I don't have a Rolls...I am waiting to find one in near mint condition in original packaging. It seems every antique store I go to has at least one...but not always in the best condition.

Here are some pics of the Darwin razor I picked up. First pic shows the razor case in the original felt sheath and instruction booklet.

The remaining pics show the razor box opened and then the razor itself. The box comes with a small vial of strop paste...and two blades, both in very good condition. It is in very good condition.

What part on the diagram were you referring to (letter/number)? I checked the Instruction booklet and looked at the diagram...no mention of a blade guard. (It could be I am missing something and just can't see it). All parts seem to be present and accounted for. I have read in other wiki type forums that this razor has been likened to "shaving with a straight razor on a stick"...that is, no guard.
No wonder this contraption never caught on. It's simpler just to use a straight!
