I have a number of rolls razors and they are great, providing you can get them sharp. I prefer them to any DE but not as much as a straight.


They are numerous and cheap on eBay. Blades for them are very cheap and plentiful too if you want to build up a seven day set. In my experience it is worth spending that bit extra to get a very good one in great condition as if the strop / hone part is very worn you may have problems getting the blades shave sharp. My favored model is the viscount.


They are very easy to use and you get a very nice shave from them; provided you get a nice one.



I would recommend one.
