Injector & SE Party !!!

Three Pass Shaving Routine...

Hot Water Prep & Massage with Argan Oil
Rolls Razor
Hollow Ground Blade
Fitchard Pure Badger
Valobra Tallow soap
Humphreys Witch Hazel

I had the Most Wonderful Shave with My Rolls for the SE September Celebration..A Most Perfect Every Darn North to South & East to West BBS Result was Had with this Grand Old Shaver..I Haven't Shaved with a Factory Blade Razor in Months & No Wonder..I have been Shaving with SRs & Occasionally Hollow Ground Blade SEs..

After I Honed this Blade Sometime Ago I got Kinda Thinking..These Rolls Blades are Designed to Be Stropped & Honed in the Rolls System with Some Amount of Pressure that Most Hollow Ground Blades would Not Stand Up Too..I Cant Quit Figure what they have Done to the Edge to Sustain this Kinda Treatment..Any Roads..On that Note..I Decided to Hit the Chromium Oxide for 30 Laps or Whatever I thought it Would Take to get a Darn Fine Killer Finished Edge after Coming Off the Hone..

On the Factual Knowledge that the Rolls Uses a Pressurized System I Used some Pressure on the Chrom/Ox Pasted Paddle Strop..Well Darn Me all the Way to Hell & Back..I had a Killer Edge but Still Very Smooth..Now..I Would Never Do that Amount of Laps on Chrom/Ox with any Other Blade Never Mind the Pressure..If You Attempted this Method with a Swedish Steel CV Heljestrand or any other SE Hollow Ground Blade it would just have a Negative Effect..Far Too Much Gun so to Speak..The Rolls Blade is Different from any Other SE Hollow Ground Blade for Sure..

I Am Dolphin Smooth & Refreshed...

Billy..

 

You're having way too much fun. I've got to try one of these for myself!

 

I was thinking he'd have so much fun doing this to my Rolls blades

 

You Wont Regret that...Trick is to Get a Good One..That Said..I Hone & Strop Mine Outwith the System..If it was Done that way You only need a Decent Blade & Handle..I get Better Results Not Using the Rolls System..

Billy..

 

I'm thinking that a Rolls would look good in my collection. Of course Billy could hone a couple of my blades to start me off!

 

So Billy, this might sound silly, but if I were to pick up a Rolls, am I also looking to get at least a couple of blades at the same time? What should I be looking for in a Rolls?

 

Rolls Razor..



You are looking for One that has the Pads in this Sort of Condition..I have Refreshed these but they Need to be Flat & Undamaged..You Also Need a Decent Blade or Blades of Course where the Edge hasn't been Corroded..Something to Note...These Blades are Different to any Other Hollow Ground Blade & I Reckon that an Edge that's too Badly Corroded Couldn't be Honed Out Due to the Edge Design..

Most Folks Mess Up with a Rolls & Buy a Pile of Junk because they Don't Understand How the System Works or Just Down Right Stingy..

Billy..

 

Thank you Billy! I'll be on the lookout for one.

Make sure your two piece handle unscrews , or that the ball in your one piece isn't frozen in place.

Excellent shave this morning with the PAL Adj. loaded with a Dutch Danglies. Wonderful, slick, beautifully scented lather from the IB Milionario shave soap. Three easy passes for a dolphin smooth refreshing finish. Have a great day guys.

 

Great picture, Doug!

A wonderful 3 pass shave this morning. Love the sound of this razor as the whiskers are mowed down.
