    I have one of those ...... it's a US made bakelite Slant Stroke razor ...... I believe from the 30's to possibly the 50's. Came with a bakelite handle and its patent number is 2093851.

    Very nice shave mild to medium efficiency.

    Hope that helps.

    :)

    IMG_1658626911331.JPEG Ebay seller's pics. Bought it mostly as spare parts for my "good" one. We'll see what shape the hone and strop are in after USPS is done manhandling it. If necessary, I can swap the guts from my current set over. It's the somewhat rarer/uncommon Imperial 3 stainless steel model, so it should polish up as nice as any nickel plated set. It has a telescopic handle, I think, which is usually frozen beyond salvaging, if I recall my reading on those. One blade is good, the other might be.

    In 1932, this particular set sold for $20. ($432.57 in purchasing power today. A very expensive razor). In 2022, $14.99 plus shipping. It's absolutely crazy. The Rolls is a good, even great, razor. In it's day, it was a popular razor.

    A member on another shaving forum once said that he remembered his father telling him that in the 1940's, any hotel he stayed at was filled with the sound of many Rolls razors stropping in the morning. It was actually the newfangled electric razors that pushed Rolls out of favor with the masses, not Gillette or other DE razors, as many people think.

    Edit: If anyone buys one of these contraptions from eBay, or from anywhere involving boxes and shipping, it is highly recommended that you and the seller have a little chat about storing the handle in the gear track rather than smack dab center of the hone. (Which was an optional "rattle free" spot to carry the handle, but was liable to crack your hone if the razor was dropped).

    I'm sure. There's like 5 or 6 sets with the New heads known to exist. The French sets with the old type head and that handle are more common, but still pretty rare. I'd love to run across one of these in an antique shop.

    Italian barber last week sale parcel just arrived, Excellently packaged and quick ,Tuesday July 26th 2022.
    I have used most of these products and thought why not because some of my Razorock supplies are running very low and I really enjoy the Santa Maria del Fiore soap[​IMG] 8.5 oz glass jar, the regular XXX soap[​IMG] and aftershaves is awesome and was running low and so I thought I try the mentholated XXX 8.5 oz glass jar would be a nice addition. The RR King Louis after shave[​IMG] is very nice Lavender scent but does not have a lot of staying strength and has a little menthol added for a nice sensation. The Irish Countryside soap[​IMG] is awesome for lather qualities so I bought the Irish Countryside aftershave to complement the soap, scent is a clean scent with reasonable projection for a quick test[​IMG]. The American barber aftershave[​IMG] is one of my favorites so I had to try the American barber soap on Italian barber Razorock sale recently. Just made the free shipping amount for another savings, I enjoy sales[​IMG].
