Your Rarest SE Razor?

[FOTOPAT]

I ran it on the hone and strop it came with many times, it just doesn't seem that sharp. I believe it's carbon steel and it will rust if you don't dry it or leave it by other razors and water splashes on it.

I took a few strokes with it on an ATG pass. I haven't given it full attention though. It has a guard on it, and can probably hit from zero to about a 45 degree angle.

I hone the Rolls razors out of the box on benchstones/whetstones. I tape the blade's spine & depending on the state of the bevel, progressively hone the edge with up to 5-6 progressively finer stones, mainly oilstones. I end honing with a 10000 grit waterstone & with what I believe is a Welsh purple slate stone 14000 grit using water. Stropping in the RR case.
I have 3 RR sets including a 1922 Standard, an Imperial #1 (1923?) and another later Imperial with extra blades sufficient for a 2 weeks rotation.
I've used the RR's over different periods, lastly using the honing as above.With 3-4 different passes the shave is comfortable/OK but not brilliant. I recently got 2 Darwin razor sets & they give a much better shave, although I have to be careful as they are an aggressive shave if the gap between the edge & safety guard is adjusted to max width.
Am expecting 2 other wedge razor sets of different makes (Scharff & Heljerstrand) & look forward to sharpening the blades & using them.
I hope this was of interest,this reply after a gap of 3 years?

This is my rarest SE, the Clemak, complete with stropper and original blades, Monday through Saturday.

The razor looks real interesting, and good, too, but they supply a stropper yet believe you need a new blade every day?
