Someone has Modified that Hone Pad with some Lapping Film for Honing..Its possible to do that but I have some reservation's about it..Lapping Film needs to be on a Super Flat Surface or you are Up a Gum Tree..That could be done of course but not directly on top of the original Hone Pad I don't Reckon..It also requires water that is going to get into the Rolls mechanism..Could you please answer this 'stroppy' bloke a question?
When I got this, the auction stated something but I have completely forgotten what it was.

Do we know if the green film is something that is added to use?
Do we know if it is like a honing sheet perhaps?
Or do we think it might be there to protect the 'stuff' on the honing stone.
You don't require a strop with the Rolls System..I used this method today to demonstrate how easy it should be to get a Blade Shave Ready if its in Good Condition..That said this is my own way of doing things anyway..There are No Right & Wrongs here..Billy, great write up, I don't own a strop, is there anything in the house I can use instead, like an old belt?
Great stuff, and for honing do I need a grit stone (which I don't have)? or you mentioned a glass surface?
If you want a really close shave, you should try that new Bunny V3 thing, TomTonights shave

Tonight I had my 4th shave with the Rolls. I have been Using the Rolls to keen the edge at night.
I did a 4 pass shave with it. I normally do not go 4 passes but I was having so much fun and the blade was cutting fine. Why not.
As always the MWF makes a nice slick lather. First pass WTG went pretty good. I need to work on going around and down my jaw and chin. I am not very smooth doing this yet. No weepers or anything so that is great.
Second pass XTG and my new diagonal cuts only jaw. went pretty good. The reduction is not what I have come to expect from my SE's. It is a learning curve i believe.
Third and fourth pass went ATG. No drama there either. I finished my shave with a DFS. There are a few areas that if I were using another razor I would have done a cleanup. As this one is so new to me I did not want to press my luck.
Very fun razor to use. It makes me really concentrate. This will find its way into my rotation for sure.

'Notso' comb and Chinese Schick (5) for me today and I'll have to skip a shave again tomorrow
I'm sure that if you ask nicely, they'll let you on the US West Coast Bunny pass around over on TSDI would love to. But I am not on any pass-arounds. [emoji16]
