Thread: Brought A Rolls Razor Home.

I have seen these Rolls razors many times in the antique stores, but left them alone. I decided to add one to my razor collection. This one appeared in good shape and cost under $25.00. I had to clean her up a bit. The stains on the hone pad are from my fingers; I made the mistake of picking it up when I still had lubricant on my hands.
I need to get the little extra blade case to make it complete, I think.

Thanks for looking.

Congrats, that's a nice find. Did you give it a try yet?

I have two rolls razors, here in the UK they are easy to find at carboot sales and people often then not give them away, I have found when using them to give a close shave and seem to have an elegance about them that is unique to the Rolls Razor, if I ever found myself in a situation where the collapse of society was imminant Id pack my SR and stop and my Rolls Razor.

Where else online will you find folks whose first thought at the impending collapse of society is of shaving gear?

That's a beauty! I've thought of getting one of those myself-great catch.

Thats nice! I love shaving with my rolls. Some leather conditioner will help the strop from time to time. Good to see you have the instructions. They are spot-on, IMO.

Thanks guys, I have thought about giving her a try, but will have to get the courage up first. I will put a little conditioner on the strop today.

Try it out, you going to love it, I've use them a number of times with great results, it's one invention that does what it claims.
Great find, congrat's!

Hmm. I think I need to get one of mine back in the rotation again. They are a lot of fun to shave with. Good find by the way!

Wow John, you got a good ideal on that one. Great score! It looks good too. I have a couple & they are pretty cool.
