Yeah, way off topic, what ever, if you have one you'll get it.

I picked up a Rolls Razor Imperial No. 2 in its box at the Chelsea flea market the other day, and it has replaced all my straight razors as what I shave with, its amazing. This has to rank as one of the most splendidly fit for purpose pieces of engineering ever.

I'm looking to share my joy, and find a bit more info then the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls_Razor"]Wiki[/ame]

share the joy!

Can you still get the blades - or do you just never need to replace them?

Very nice. My 'daily' (or not) is a(n ostensibly) 1920s safety razor, from China, in a little tin box with a bright blue horse and chinese characters painted all over it.

I also have a cheap straight razor which I'm not nearly manly enough to use.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
