I am always a bit apprehensive when i plan to use one of my Rolls kits, no need really.
This kit i adopted from another forum member and it is the most comprehensive set i have, it includes an addressed "thank you for your purchase" letter from Rolls Razors to the original owner in 1935.
I completed a "Pyramid" refresh of this blade on the 5K, 8K & 12K hones then gave it 100 laps on the box strop.
A fantastic bowl lather with the little EJ badger and the Faena soap, plenty slick goodness for the shave. The brush is quite "Floppy" but using just the tips you get a nice scritch on the face when loading, then face paint - lovely.
I found the angle pretty much straight away and off i went, very smooth WTG and XTG with a little cutting indication when going ATG but not uncomfortable.
I completed 3 full passes for a DFS++ result, nothing from the Alum rub and feeling real comfortable.
A nice post shave with a last minute change to the Williams Splash - it just seemed right?
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.
