Beautiful! Now I must go look for a Rolls...

These Rolls Razors scare the crap out of me. It looks like it would tear my face off lol. I guess a lot of people say that about DE and straight razors as well, so I would imagine with practice it would work out great.

Hahahaha good one =P I want to put it into the mug, but I dont want the scent to disappear!

Not too exciting maybe, and not even a shaving soap, but probably the best smelling hand/bath soap I've ever bought.

mine shaves pretty well. it was all the cleanup and re-maintenance that kept me from reaching for it more. I've hit a busy spell, with less time for this hobby. but I enjoyed it for a couple shaves before I cleaned it up and put it away for a while. more work than a straight.
do they or did they ever make a handle to hold onto a rolls blade, insofaras I could use my own finishing stones and strop?

Im not sure. I don't really know much about them, I got a chance to see one in the travel box but it looked strange plus I don't know how to use it. I thought I saw a stone that it came with to sharpen but im not positive.

Got my Black Beauty and Slim today. The Slim is still in the dishwasher so I cleaned and oiled the 1970 BB, which I was really after. Cleaned up nicer than I was hoping. Have decided I prefer it (slightly) to its taller sibling so it'll be a regular.

You did see one. That was the spare Rolls that I put in the box, in the hopes someone could replace the broken saddle spring (that's all that's wrong with it).

Oh ok. That thing made me think of a cheese slicer when I first say it. Have you used one before?

The Rolls? It'd be my desert island razor, if I had to pick. No DE or SE shaves as closely, and maintaining the blade head really isn't a big deal at all. As long as the springs are intact (they usually are), the stone and strop is good (they usually are too), it's really -- I hate to say this -- the only safety razor a guy needs. I lucked out and found an unused set a few years ago, and it's the one I have now.

That's good to hear you like it. I like how it has a stone and strop so there would be no replacing the blade, like a mini straight razor.

It is called the Straight on a Stick for a reason.

Not sure what mug you have but this Proraso lid fits mine perfectly!

Dr. Jon's Aphrodite
La Cigale Savon Barbe Aloe Vera

Lot of buzz about Dr Jon soaps lately. Have you had a chance to try it out yet?

That really works nice. If this could be color printed to size and cut circular, it'd make a nice label to replace the Proraso one...

Just got it. I'll use it tomorrow morning. It does smell great! I did put a dab on my finger tips and it's very silky. I'm so late to Dr. Jon's I almost feel like a newbie.

I have the Dr Jon's Arctic Hydra. It a citrus/lemon scent with a touch of menthol. Very nice, easy lathering cream. A lot softer than I expected but you don't need alot of it to get a good lather. I'd buy it again.

Definitely curious about scent profile and your opinion on the lather.

@Omelmad should send you his printers email address.

Just took a look at my new Slim. Date code H1, the earliest I've had...is this a first year run or 2nd?
