Just got married on saturday and gave all my groomsmen (5) a Rolls Razor. I replaced all the strops with custom cut bridle leather and honed them all on my Coticule. They all looked very confused as I explained all this to them! lol
i only wish i had a rolls razor they are nice i have a valet auto strop and its ok i guess
They are all over eBay. The last couple I picked up in antique shops. Think i gave 20 for one that looked new in box, had the directions and a sales slip.
so expect to spend in the ball park of 20-50 for one thx
I just picked one up on Ebay, paid 50 :)
How'd I ever miss this thread. I have two Rolls. One is spares, and the other was a kind gift from a friend and member of this forum, Kalgoorlieboi. I like the shave I get from mine, but I don't use it as often as I should. Might have to correct that oversight.

I generally pick them up at antique stores for 10-30 depending on model and condition. I also like to swap out the usless strop for bridle leather.
I got mine yesterday, is in great condition, the stone is good, and only 1 nick in the strop. Does anyone have a good writeup on changing that? :)
Also, is there anyone that can re-hone the blade? It's pretty dull but well worth fixing IMHO :)
If you can hone a cutthroat razor and have the stones, you can re-hone the Rolls blade. If you're located in Australia, I'll give it a go for you if you like. I hone my own to my own satisfaction.
