I was given this today in pretty good condition ,its obviously a blade could some one advise me what it is and how I go about using it ,it has a guard that clicks back and forth to each side of the edge like a Curley`s saftey rasor Kind regards Peter::
These rolls razors came in a box with a strop. You would put the razor in the box, and run it back and forth to sharpen it. Pretty cool idea. They seem to come up in antique stores regularly.
I don't think anyone will object if I go off topic for a moment. Welcome to The Shave Den Rodd! It's great to have you here!
You need a lot more than the blade to be able to get a shave with a Rolls: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pointe/3541/Rolls_Page.htm I have one set where the kit is sufficient to make the blade shave-ready, and one set where I can't quite get there.
The blade looks good. Are you going to buy a kit for it or are you interested in selling or trading the blade?
