Thread: Don't forget your local classifieds!!!!

The rolls are great, IF the blade is close. If not, all the whacking in the world will not help. The setup is to maintain a shaver, not to make one. I had a good one and gave it to a buddy who was afraid of it. I have a few more and have figured a way to get a handle on it (I think!) to hone it with. Otherwise, you have to use the fingers. No fun, but can be done. They shave the dickens when right!

I have 3 altogether but I figure you know this. To get the blade back on the mounting point, push & twist. Same to remove it, twist & pull! Being a straight razor guy, I think they're cool! A self contained razor, hone & strop!

Yes! Those little springy things with the ears which goes over the shaft and keeps the blade tight are important and are sometimes broken. It keeps the blade tight and true. On occasion, they come through ebay as replacement parts. Lots of neat quirks to the rolls. I suppose someone would have to know what they were doing to use one. Otherwise, just closing the thing up results in damage! Plenty around for parts, though. Magpie is an expert on them!

Fresh off of 1500 grit sounds like a comfortable shave ready razor! ;-)
