Picked up a pair of Rollers (gotta control this RAD lol)
Had a day off work, decided to go into town for a haircut and then on to my local antique shop (which I've had a few straights off of before)
They had a couple of straights, nothing special. A seven day set of some Thos. Turners with 3 missing in a nice box with a plaque sauing it was presented to a Sgt somoneorother around the time of the boar war. Thought about it but they were worn and with some missing not my cuppa (plus not struck on round points) so left them.
Then I saw 3 Rollers, two boxed one not. The unboxed one was a bit rough but the other two were quite nice and in better shape than the ones I already have so out came the wallet... A tenner for both (and the price I was thinking of as well) Result.
One came in the standard box with a flip lid, the other in a normal box and seams to be older - both are Imperial No. 2 (the most common). The older one has a spring loaded handle instead of an unscrew one. Both are complete (except for paperwork) and unbroken. The older one has a lovely clean blade (and literally jumped onto my coti but that's for a later sotd lol)
Anyway, pics.......

Shame about my Viscount, it has all the paperwork inc. the slip to say it's been tested but the razor is in poor shape.
Anyways, I hope you like
