I tried the Rolls out yesterday, gave the blade 30 up and down the hone, and as it says in the instructions I gave the blade a brisk stropping (sounds almost rude), was in a bit of a hurry so a quick two pass shave was in order, and I was quite surprised at the shave, not bad at all the upper lip was a bit of a challenge though due to the width of the blade and I found that the guard bar got in the way somewhat, I usually have a bit of trouble shaving the neck area under the chin with a straight, but this little razor had no problems dealing with that. So it's a half decent shaver 'out of the box' I reckon a touch up on a finishing hone would really bring the blade to life.
I took it to my local yesterday to show an old chap that had one back in the forties, and it became quite the talking point, apart from myself and the old boy no one else had ever heard of a Rolls let alone seen one, I've now been asked to procure two sets!
