Thread: Hybrid Safety Razor

+1 on the Rolls Razor, it is basically a Straight/ Safety combo.

Yep Rolls Razor. Got one coming in. New in the box. There are others and it shouldn't be too hard to cannibilize an old straight and make your own "rolls" razor.

I saw that exact description on the 'bay a few weeks back. Think it was called an Everite razor. Appeared to be a wedge type, about 2 inches in length. The box came with a flat strop and hone to restore and perfect the edge. I would have bid on it, but the auction was at $80 with 3 days left to go. Perfect condition.

As another example, check out the "Valet" auto-strop (or self-strop) razor, and a similar (or identical) model made by Feather in Japan.

They use single-edge blades, and have a leather strop that use the safety mechanism as a stropping-angle guide. They pop up on eBay occasionally.

I dunno. Last I saw some dorcos were going for six cents a blade (in a pack of 100). Wouldn't it be worth the lack of trouble for a price like that?
