This set comes with a corduroy pouch, strop paste in a bakelite pot,two blades and a bakelite blade case.
The set had one previous owner (God rest his soul) from new and was barely used.
It's still unclear how Rolls managed to make and sell a razor for 30 years that simply wasn't sharp enough and that everyone discarded after using once.
So this was the ideal set to experiment with - I pasted the strop with the OEM paste and rather than hone the almost unused blades externally I honed the first one in the case after soaking the hone in petroleum jelly over night.
The result was just as good as using the lapping film.
So paste the strop, soak the hone in vaseline and you're good to go!
C'mon, give it a go...
