Scott, how do the Rolls and Stahly razors work? (I'm assuming there must be something special about the Stahly because of the fat handle and the name.)

I hear ya. I use that Trac 3 or Mach 3 or whatever it is too.Zemke Fan said:But I see nothing but pain and suffering in those old single blades... I am too asleep in the mornings to handle anything but the latest marvel from Gillette.

Actually, when using a Double Edge (AKA Safety Razor) it is a matter of skill and concentration to a small degree when compared to using a straight razor. Using a straight razor takes concentration where each stroke is a deliberate and calculated act. To be distracted is to get nicked. And so it is in life.
Happy shaving!

BTW. I make the racks and have sold a few to the guys over at SMF and B&B.

Some folks have had less success than I with those however. I find I have to pitch about one in 7 or so. But at 14 cents, who cares?
There are other brands as well at cheap prices. Elsewhere in this thread is a link to a seller in Israel.
