Rolls razor

[robzrob]

Hello

I've got a Ross razor in a metal box. Made in the 20s as far as I can see. It comes with a kind of strop inside each side of the box. Anybody know anything about them? Email me for a pic.

Is it a Rolls razor by any chance?

Why on earth did I type 'Ross'? Yes it is a Rolls!

If you think it looks good enough to use try to get the blade almost parallel with your face. I have one and it's not bad but stropping and honing alone with the included bits and bobs wasn't enough. Watch out for a cracked stone and dry leather (you will need a replacement hone or strop paste respectively).
Spare bits can be found on ebay easily enough.

Thanks for the advice.
