Been using my Rolls Viscount for the past few shaves. Having some problems with my consistency with the angle. But over all it gives a nice shave. It's odd how it feels like it could be ripping your face apart as you shave. But when I'm done, I have no burn, weepers, or cuts. I think I just need to get the blades back up to snuff.
Gave my Rolls a rest today and went with my 1914 with a new Pella blade. Very nice shave - but I prefer my OCMM overall (in regards to a SE) - and most certainly a nicely honed Rolls.

Gem Featherweight w/a Gem stainless(thanks to Garry's Sample Shop),much better than the Treet blades i have been using.
Gem OCMM/GEM PTFE
Shaved with pre-shave oil only today (AOS) - an okay shave - but not nearly as good as my brush and soap or cream.
