I am always a bit apprehensive when i plan to use one of my Rolls kits, no need really.
This kit i adopted from another forum member and it is the most comprehensive set i have, it includes an addressed "thank you for your purchase" letter from Rolls Razors to the original owner in 1935.
I completed a "Pyramid" refresh of this blade on the 5K, 8K & 12K hones then gave it 100 laps on the box strop.
A fantastic bowl lather with the little EJ badger and the Faena soap, plenty slick goodness for the shave. The brush is quite "Floppy" but using just the tips you get a nice scritch on the face when loading, then face paint - lovely.
I found the angle pretty much straight away and off i went, very smooth WTG and XTG with a little cutting indication when going ATG but not uncomfortable.
I completed 3 full passes for a DFS++ result, nothing from the Alum rub and feeling real comfortable.
A nice post shave with a last minute change to the Williams Splash - it just seemed right?

Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Shaving Cream Sensitive
SlimGem Silvertip Badger
Ever-Ready Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Pinaud Lilac Vegetal AS

The Proraso Shaving Cream Sensitive was applied with the SlimGem Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready Lather Catcher with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Lilac Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
