It does (just) hold a Feather or de-spined GEM blade:

Obviously the back edge is a tad dull! :ROFLMAO:

You can see the base plate now has a gap ... hence self-adjusting.

Thank you kindly for your offer.

Technically I should have only posted on here in two months time as that's how much I was intending to keep the Rocca in rotation but my skin would have not survived so here I am prematurely moving on to my second razor for the year.

Definitely a contemporary choice but not an easy one to identify (so I think). First of all the head and handle are not the same make. Both are 'inspired' (read copied should you wish) from other razors. There're both in stainless steel and I shan't say anymore......

Very Early Wilkinson Sword Special Set Wedge Type Safety Razor in Original Case With Seven Blades Made in England - Etsy

This Wilkinson Special set is in very good overall condition, especially since its nearly 100 years old. The wood case is intact and shows a little wear both on the exterior and interior. The razor functions exactly as designed and the rolling guard bar is a very unique design. The razor has a wedge

If anyone is collecting that type of Wilkinson razor, there's an early one on Etsy at a fairly reasonable price. Not sure if it's a Pall Mall or not. I've never heard it refered to as a "special," and my interest is more geared towards the Empire sets.

Edit: didn't realize it shipped from the States. Figured it was a UK listing.
