Great shot with the Rolls '34; this would be a great thread to start as there are several types of the blade-straights in my den....Darwin kit which is gorgeous and beyond exceptional workmanship and the Wilkinson silver cased sets which are very reasonably priced and quite the value..

I have a #14 JPM I won on E-Bay for a great price, just under $200.00, a lot more beat up, it's another 7/8, the blade itself is much longer, and the whole razor is much, much heavier than the #13, but it will give you an awesome shave pretty much with one pass. Eventually, I'll bite the bullet, and finally add a Filly 8/8 #14.
