ROLLS RAZORS and PARTS

Post by Ridgegrass »

These aren't straight razors but some folks collect them. Here are two, Top one complete and in great shape, Middle one missing a handle and chipped. Both have original boxes and paperwork. Bottom, a body and a cracked hone side for parts. I've had them for many years and really don't care about them any more.I tried to shave with one once and well... not for me. You Green Berets and Seals can do that! I was just a grunt. HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY all
Anyone interested in a trade for knives or related items let me know. J.O.

I have one and I've used it several times.
The blade really should be sent out to someone who knows what they're doing and understands what "shaving sharp" really means.
Take care and God bless,

Heck! I thought the idea was to have the hone and strop to get it in shape. ??? I buy plastic throwaways anyhow. Hate shaving! Thanks. Want 'em? J.O'.

The hone and strop only help keep the blade in shape. Think of them like a touch up stone for your knife. There eventually comes a time when the edge is just too far beyond what the hone and strop can do. That's when you take the edge to a coarser stone and work it down to finer grits.

Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass.
Take care and God bless,
