Rolls Razors have been around since the early part of last century. In the slick looking case is a hone and strop to maintain the edge. I had no idea what they were until I was sent one of the blades to repair and hone. I was lucky enough to have been gifted one (Viscount model) and I purchased another, Imperial #2, pictured). As a straight razor user, the Rolls is excellent for shaving on the go or for travel. You can find them on the Bay for under $20 (make sure the honing component and strop are not cracked.) I've been honing them using Japanese Natural stones with excellent results, they shave as good as anything out there. Have you seen what replacements go for now a days? Crazy.
