I think it counts. It is essentially a straight razor on a stick. I've read that they are very nice. My Rolls is as yet untried.

6/8 Torrey MWF synthetic Omega knot I took the Torrey back to 3000/8000 and ended it on the black arkie, very nice shave today. The second go around for the synthetic Omega and it opened nicely on the face with good lather. I picked up few arkies this summer at flea markets plus a Norton Queer Creek. I wore the 8k off my Norton 4/8k combo so I've been playing around with some other stones.
Tonight's shave, was with and old Straight. It was a super sharp, and smooth shave, that left me near BBS with just 2 passes. No Nicks, cuts, or weepers, just smooooothness. Razor- Tillotson's Celebrated Razor. Sheffield Brush- Omega Boar Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman
Forcing myself to use something other than The Man From Mayfair. It is difficult to put that one down.
Great two pass shave after a touch up on the diamond pasted strop. No need for a third pass. Best ten bucks I ever spent on this one
Thank you, been playing with some of the effects and other adjustment options in my phone. Usually I just shoot, reduce to 30% of size and post. Now I up contrast, add vignette and some colour corrections with an occasional effect.

After four 'shaveless' days in Lake Tahoe, I returned home late last night and had a great shave this morning with this vintage F. Fenney 'Tally Ho' 7/8" sq. pt. Crown & Crane 'Tobacco Leaf & Amber' soap & balm. Excellent!
Tried a couple of new things last night - with an old standard: Gold Dollar 100 - stropped it on a church bulletin- full color covers - 100 passes on brown followed by 100 passes on sky blue. Then 150 passes on the leather. - Very, very smooth 3 pass shave - BBS! Followed the shave with generic Walmart Witch Hazel splash. SLEPT LIKE A BABY!
