WTB: Rolls Razor Handle

[blackfoot]

Does anyone have a handle for a Rolls that they would like to dispose of for a moderate price?

It would figure. This is probably the part that always gets lost.

I've seen quite a few missing the handle. I just scored a really nice No. 2 on the 'bay with box and original sales receipt. Seems to have not been used very much at all. Can't wait to get it. Good luck with your hunt for a handle. There are a few really trashed out sets, broken hones and the like, on the 'bay. Maybe you could score one dirt cheap just for the handle.

That's not a bad idea. Let me know how it works for you. I am curious.

I think that I saw one at a local antique store here. It was in a case but don't remember the condition. I just remember that there was a handle and no blade.

If you still need one, I can run down there again and check it out for you, take a few pictures and get the price. If you want it, I'll pick it up for you and it's yours for whatever the price is plus shipping.

They actually had quite a few of them there in various conditions if anyone else is looking.

Well, I got my razor yesterday. It's in great shape, one of the best I've seen. More use than I thought from the auction photos, but not abused at all. Gave the edge a good look with the loupe, and the edge is really nice. Spent a little time cleaning her up and went through the whole honing/stropping deal and put a nice bald spot on the back of my left arm.:redface: Ran it back across the strop this morning while my lather set on my face, and proceeded to have a nice smooth easy DFS with it. I usually don't go ATG on the weekend to give myself a little break, but I'm sure it'll do fine there, too. The seller included some extra stuff, as well. Let me know if you need a strop. I have three extras. They're not new, but all look more usable than most I see out at the shops. I also have two replacement spring clips for the blade holder in the case. Handling was similar to my GEM G-Bar, but feels a bit more delicate in the hand. Less blade feedback than a standard SE blade. The little safety bar works very well and made it a very intuitive shaver as far as finding a comfortable angle. Hope you get a handle soon. Let me know how it goes.

Very cool. Sounds great and I look forward to using mine.
