Received my French Roger razor this weekend.
In a way I see shaving with wedge/hoe blades the 'closest thing' to shaving with a straight razor - without using one :)
Happy to see that it was in even better condition than the photos on the bay led me to believe - shiny, no scratches or plate loss.
The two Roger wedge blades have seen better days so I may or may not pursue having them honed - or simply use some of the others I have.
The stropping handle attachment fits securely into the end of the handle.

The original wedge blades that came with the razor are in so-so condition.

The clasp at the back of the razor is holding the blade firmly in place
