It DOES need a certain amount of friction to work properly, I made the mistake of using a silicone spray on mine, and it had so little friction that if I moved the lever slowly, the guard bail on the razor would not click into place, and the blade never made contact with the strop!
You guys are going to make me post a whole series of Rolls maintenance posts, aren't you? :cry:
