Have you tried it since Rob???

Only asking as I have one in the Post cant wait to get it, I have already restored a Rolls and had a good shave from it, much to my surprise.

Any of the two of you have any more comments on the razor?

I have passed on a couple or three much to my regret. If Geezer says they're good, they are good.
An old post, but that looks like a beauty Rob.

I never did get around to improving the blade - so the set is just sitting there along with a lot of other razors that don't get much use at the moment.

I'm retiring in a few months' time and will then have a lot more free time to play around with restoration - this is now on the list.

Very Cool, you don't see that to often, enjoy!
