@@Ashefault so...? If a modern safety razor is safe, why isn't this contraption still used? There really isn't much significant difference between vintage and modern safety razors regardless
In case anyone is wondering, that is a "Rolls Razor" It's basically a straight razor on a stick with a guard, and the case has a built in hone and strop. It's a fun shave. I keep one in my gym bag. It turns a lot of heads.

I have quite an interest in vintage razors and the Rolls Razor is certainly pretty unique in its working. It's almost the perfect bridge between a straight (cut-throat) razor and what we think of as a safery razor. They do give a fairly rough shave so aren't the best for everyone, but in these days of people wanting to use fewer throw-away products, they are a great option.
I have an interest in this as well. I plan on buying one of these sooner or later. Specifically for using daily, do you have any types that really intrigued you/ work exceptionally well that you recommend?
They are still pretty common on eBay and antique stores. Getting them to shave takes some work, and requires a different technique compared to a modern 5 blade monstrosity.
@@kds471 I have a similar one and it produces one of the most aggressive shaves I’ve ever had. It’s neat but I usually go with a single blade safety razor.
That’s neat. Did you know that medicine cabinets had a slot in the back that you dropped used disposable blades between the studs in the wall? Imagine decades of used dull blades in the wall when you open it up to remodel.
Its amazing who we think were far more advanced then previous generations. Then you see how advanced they we're. Like thats more eco friendly that disposable razors today
My dad had one of those when I was a kid. He still has it in a box somewhere. They were called a Rolls Royce razor. My grandfather owned an antique shop, and gave it to him. They are from like the 20's or 30's
Rolls Razor. Bizarrely, i came across two of these from from both my grandfsthers my dadss dad snd my mams dad. Both boxed, with instructions. To see a tutorial though is amazing, so thanks.

I have one of those!! It belonged to my grandfather... it even has the box with the instructions still in there 😊
Me too, he actually gave it to me. Still sitting on my desk right now lol. Papa didn’t need a vintage razor anymore. Too much of a hassle

@@ToastedLobster does it actually work? if so thats so cool
How is this curiosity called?
@@carles3316 It's called a Rolls razor
Razor companies stopped making this because they want you to keep buying disposable ones
Exactly😅
That and these types of razors caused excessive bleeding if messed up around cutting the neck area
@@AshefaultI've been using a modern safety razor for a year and didn't once cut myself in a way I wouldn't cut myself with a disposable one

A testament to how stuff was made to last all those years ago. 😔
It's amazing to see how many people have one of these razors or had one, it's truly a small world at times.
Or there's a whole lot of liars
Are they still made today?
And i bet it is still cheaper than a pack of 4 x fusion razors
Well you can still buy safety razers, a pack of 5x gillette 7 o'clock blades cost less than a dollar.
Get my blades for around 6p each
my exact thoughts.. we need to go back to inventions like this
@@joee374 Where from?
Safety razor or shavette (knife is ok but a pain to keep sharp) is the only thing that really works on tough beard. Exept that bloke that used an axe.
I love older inventions. It's just awesome seeing the progression of human culture and technology.
Bro this is regression 😭
@@BrunoSantos-jp1lv lol read my comment again.
you cant possibly mean to say that cartridge safety razors are progressive instead of these reusable blade safety razors.
Man, I just hope we have products like this now.
Only if you make 'em
There’s some classy, sturdy shaving kits these days, like Leaf, but nothing classic to this degree!
Double edge safety razor with 10x blades ,amazon 35 $$
Van DER hagen safety razor for a decent price.
@@jacoblapethose are nice
I absolutely love unintentional asmr like this
as well as people with voices like this, it gives me tingles idk why lol
I remember my Dedushka had one. (48 years ago) Amazing memory. Thank you 🙏

This is the kind of stuff we need to get back to.
We will my friend. When Meta dies
@@MrArtVeinait what?😂😂
...why?
Buy a DE razor. Wilkinson's sword and Gillette both make a decent one.
Meant to last
Thank ypu Arnold for taking time out of your day to show us something unique.
My dad had one of those, it may have been his dad's. Growing up in the far less safety conscious sixties, it was one of my favourite toys.

My dad has that exact same unit. Recon he’s had it 40 plus years. I used to love playing with it as a kid. It was fascinating

That's one of the coolest shavers I've ever seen tbh. That's so cool, especially the way it sharpens itself and all you do is push and pull
Love that you’re still making videos, you were on of my favorite childhood youtubers

Excellent. Love the solid simplicity of the past.
glad to see CRH is still around and going strong
"Going strong"
Hardly. He's fallen huge
More futuristic than modern razors
Very beautiful. I've been watching for years, I love seeing these types of things.
My grandfather had one. I can remember it perfectly.
I think the vintage ones were you twist the handle look a lot easier. Instead of a back-and-forth motion, you spin a handle around.
I didn't know something like this existed, it's pretty cool
the rolls razor, pretty much a straight razor on a stick. One of the coolest overall products and it actually shaves wonderfully
Yes a rolls razor I have one
Best fidget toy. Change my mind
😅 I just went totally different direction than normal and bought a shaving knife with loose blades 😊 perfect control!
Just say a straight razor 💀

I used to have one of those razors! Gave it to my grandson, it even still had the box and instructions.
saw one at a yard sale weeks ago, they didn't know what it was.
@mydixiewrecked2no I think he saw it
Auww, and now its gone.
Good tools are those that are loved and used even past their era
Wow what a find! What are these types called?

I’ve shaved with one of these. There’s nothing “safe” about it.
Still looks better than the one in most of my classes
That is freaking amazing, I love vintage tools.
I have my Popa's one of these, he bought it back from Egypt when he trained there in 1939.
84 years ago 😖💀
😊😊😊😊
Those are fine pieces of Déco art
How handy! I like it! Nice find. 😃
Helped alot of elderly ppl with tremors. Saved alot of people back in the day.
That one is rare looking i havent seen one like that before 😮
This is glorious!! Love my straight razor but this is artistry.
I have one! Broken stone though
I have one as well but from antique store lady at checkout broke the Stone!!!
Bbb beeebbbbb
That is the coolest thing I've seen this week
This thing is absolutely gorgeous. If I could find one I'd use it!!!!!! Regularly!
portable, handy, and reusable. with right maintenance this will be useful for generations.

It’s nice to read it other people have these my dad has one. This thing is so cool.
I wish i had one of these. Talk about a perfect fathers day gift.
I had like 4 of them , it's super hurd to make it sharp enough for shaving,but it looks cool for your vintage blade collection!

Me in 2013 when the bathroom was remodeled
Depending, they're usually pretty rusted up too. Perfect for tetanus.

Thats cute! I 💗vintage items.
Safety Razors FTW
Its beautiful... the ingenuity people had
I have the same one, it was my grandfathers, his grandfather gave it to him for his 21st birthday, I was left it in his will… my pride and joy🙌🏽
Thats sick, i want one
Cool.... wish I could have one.
Brilliant. Where can this be purchased please?
I have one that was my father's in the 50's
that is really cool....I would buy one.....
I want to buy I have one
Thing looks nice but all I can think about is a fidget toy like that.
This would be a nightmare to shave my head with
This is reworking the 90s at the peak my man

So cool man!! Love your videos
very good
The fact that it's still intact shows how good everything back then
Honestly, we need to bring back many vintage design tools back.
It just looks like a fidget toy I would play with for HOURS
I was gifted one of these for Christmas. Mine is dated 1927. Pretty cool razor!

And this is why I use a straight razor.
I have one too. It's called a Rolls Razor. It was the first "safety" razor on the market. The bar that goes across the blade is what made it safe.
I remember my Grandfather had similar to these. I was fascinated by the looks of it.
I was certain that I recognize this voice! Welcome back, Taras! :-)
My grandpa had one of those which means i hVe one of those all his stuff is coming to me. He was an awesome grandfather for 86.5 years ❤
