Just got this delivered to me today. Whole thing is MINT condition. I normally use a DE or SE saftey razor. This is getting closer to a true straight razor. I hope someone got my reference. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
I Have Used a Rolls for Some Time..99 % of the Blades Need Honed Due to Age Outwith the System to 12 K..The Grey Slate Rolls Hone Pad is around 12 K..They are Great Razors Only if the Blade is Honed Properly..Rolls Used 2 Micron Red Paste on the Red Strop Pad.. They are a Different Shave to a Straight Razor Mind..But..They Do Take a Moment to get Used To..I Love Mine.. Billy..
They Hone Up the Exact Same as a Straight Razor..In this Case..Bevel Set On..Naniwa 1 K, 3 K, 5 K, 8 K, 12 K..I Have Honed More of Em than I Can Remember..Here was a Bulk Job I Done a Wee While Ago.. Billy..
Someone clearly took care of this one I just got, track is greased, handle is greased, blade edge is perfect, stone and strop perfect. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
Took me about a minute to figure out the angle I needed, and then away I went! This whole straight edge thing might be easier than I assumed it would be. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
My Dad used one and I used his as a young man. I now have two, and had one honed but it still feels like its scraping my skin off. Maybe I'll try a bit more stropping and go steeper on the angle.
