ROTOR razor

[nomooken]

Good morning gentlemen!

I couldn't find nothing about this razor; do you have any information (nationality?)?

It's a "ROTOR" (?) and has small wheels (it reminds me some old Single Edged razors) on both edges that make this razor poor aggressive (dispite its weight). Found on a flea market in Rome.

Sorry for my english



Thank you very much!

O wow, am I right that it are the open combs that actually rotate? Great looking razor anyway. Did you use this razor? If so how do you like its shaving characteristics?

The head reminds me of a Stahly: not identical, but a similar look.

I have few Stahlys, The heads are kinda floating and they are very springy and they feel spongy and yet very good at shaving.

Wow nice find, looks Like a Well Built Razor, it has this industrial look to it "Very Manly" Which i like. Awesome Good Catch.

Nice man let us know how it shaves!

Thank you guys.
Those "wheels" help the razor to slide smoothly, so the shaving is confortable (you can even push a little bit) and the razor is not aggressive at all.

O wow, am I right that it are the open combs that actually rotate?

I would say is a closed bar instead of open...

I've had a 'Rolls' razor that is similar, but not as heavily built.

Congratulations. How does it shave?

Vir/Rotor, made by Valmi in Italy in the 1940's.

Thank you very much for the precious information (no wonder why I found it in Rome )!

Here's my (unbranded) Valmi Industrie Reunite (V.I.R.) Rotor Safety Razor. Gold. Looks unused. The rollers on it turn super smoothly. It's made a roller believer out of me. I thought rollers on a safety razor must me some kind of gimmick. Not so! At least not on this beauty. What a shaving machine! Now I'm wondering why they ever made safety razors without rollers.
