One that is a real sleeper in DE razors

Feather sells a mostly plastic model TTO type razor called the Popular. Paired with the Feather blades it actually produces a mild but efficient shave. They sell for $10-15.00 with two Feather blades and it really does work well. Another often overlooked option out there is the Chinese made Weishi 9...

Re: "What is it" question about a Rolls razor product

I inherited a early 20th century Rolls Razor sterling silver case with razor, strop, etc. Has the greek design on it. But I also found a small navy blue leather box with the Rolls insignia on it and inside are 5 slots each with a small blade resting in them. I'm guessing they're for a different Rol...
