OK firstly my appologies if this is in the wrong part of the forum but i was a little unsure where to post it.

ive been straight shaving for a while now, thanks to a member on here donating a razor to me and me eventually picking up another one from Ebay.

however i was wandering around the car boot sales two weekends ago and happened across a Rolls Razor in its original box with all its little bits of paperwork included

long story short i got it for £5.00 (around 8US). its in really good condition (no rust on the razor, minor bit of rust on the case tho need to sort that next ) the only thing i felt i had to-do was sort out the hone as it was badly pitted in the middle where the razor guard has been striking it for years, so i plucked up some courage, got the hone out and flipped it over. now it looks like new.

i spent 10 mins using its hone to sharpen it the other night just to make sure it was nice and sharp, as it was ok shaving arm hair but it did not feel like it would do beard hair.

So Tonight i decided to have ago with it and see what i could do, i did half my face with the rolls and half with my straight and i was blown away at how well it shaved and with so little effort.

it felt a little awkward holding it at such a shallow angle to my face after what I've learnt about Straight shaving, but two minutes into it i felt very comfortable shaving and very relaxed.

I'm not sure if i should keep straight shaving now or if I've become a born again SE shaver lol.

my personal opinion, if you get the chance to buy one in good condition, get it! there great little razors, shave really well and need no specialized sharpening skills for a beginner to maintain, its a shame to see them disappear due to cheap throw away plastic razors.. (the reason this one i bought was up for sale)

thanks for reading guys, I just figured I would share my experiences with a rolls.
