I had a Rolls Razor - looked like a chunk of straight razor blade with

I've got one of those! And it will still shave nicely, but man, better
pay attention to blade angle. I did manage to cut myself pretty good
with mine many years ago.

I used it when I was in the A.F. Never had to worry about 5 o'clock
shadow :-)
