I recently acquired a WS Empire razor and I finally got around to honing one of the blades that came with it, and as far as i can tell it was pretty good, passed the hanging hair test and tree topped hairs on my arm. So onto the shave this morning, under whelmed is my impression, the razor is very top heavy and not particularly well balanced, the roller at the front works well and adjusting the blade gap does make a significant difference to the shave. I suspect that with a bit of practice i could get a much better shave by experimenting with the blade gap.
In summary, stroppable blades in razors, Valet did it better. Honeable wedge blades, Rolls did it better. An interesting razor for collections but definitely not a daily driver.
