    I spied a Rolls razor under your cabinet. I don't collect razors, but I am proud to say I DO have a Rolls (razor, that is!) The only time mine has ever been used was the ONE time I decided to try it. Terrible shave!

    Hi Canuck;

    Requires honing. The hone that is part of the Rolls razor's kit is not up to the task. Perhaps it would work if the blade was well-maintained. I've tried the Rolls and it acts like it wants to shave. Something acts like it wants to shave is pretty miserable for actual shaving. I got a terrible shave too.

    I'm going to address the thing again sometime but better sharpen the blade by some other means.

    I am interested in vintage bicycles, have had a number pass through my hands, though nothing particularly rare. I especially like vintage Treks from the early 80s.

    Also am interested in banjos; I have a circa 1915 five stringer and a couple more modern ones.

    Love the vintage Gillettes ! I have a few ( what I tell my wife! Wink) . I personally used a bulldog open comb for about a year , then a 2011 R41 match on a bob's razor works bullmastiff deluxe xl tu tone handle. And more software and brushes that I don't know what to do with!

    I also used to collect phonographs , still have a few ....
    Good hunting
    Bill
