I still haven’t tried my Wilkinson Sword Seven Day Hollow Self Stropping Razor (I need to look up the real name). Don’t know if any of the seven blades are shave ready, but the set doesn’t look used. I do think when set up, it doesn’t look as sketchy as a Rolls. The strop is still wrapped up in waxed paper. I did decide to try a Valet for my new razor next month.
To have the Wilkinson Sword 7 Day, and a Valet Autostrop in your collection indicates some seriousness about vintage razors! I look forward to you LG post on the Autostrop. (I participate mostly as an excuse to use different stuff each day, and to be entertained by the daily comments.)
My late father left a Rolls for me that I’ve never used. This may give me the motivation to pull it out and try it.
The Rolls is basically a straight razor with a safety razor handle. If the edge is good and your technique is good, a good shave will follow.
