Collection: Rolls Razor

The Rolls Razor is a vintage, manual shaving instrument that was first introduced in the early 20th century. It was produced by the English company, The Rolls Razor Ltd.

The Rolls Razor consists of a razor handle with a hollow metal cylinder attached, which acts as a storage container for the blade. To use the razor, the cylinder is opened, and the blade is carefully inserted and secured in place. The handle of the razor then rotates, which causes the blade to sharpen against a leather strop that is attached to the inside of the cylinder. After sharpening, the razor is ready to be used for shaving.

The Rolls Razor was popular in the early to mid-20th century, as it was considered to be a convenient and innovative alternative to traditional straight razors, which required regular sharpening and maintenance. The Rolls Razor, with its built-in sharpening mechanism, offered a convenient way for men to maintain a sharp and precise shave.

Despite its popularity, the Rolls Razor began to decline in popularity in the mid-20th century with the rise of electric shavers and disposable razors, which were seen as more convenient and practical for many consumers. Today, the Rolls Razor is considered a collector's item, and vintage models can be found in antique shops and online marketplaces
