Eric,
Of course I have used the Rolls razor. I had 2 of them.
One NIB and I used the other.
It required more attention to angle etc than any other
"Safety Razor". I sold them both
at gun shows.
I was almost as nervous using it as the really old
"SLASHER" type razors. My father had a
seven razor set of those, with hone and long leather
strop. Think Sweeny Todd.

I had just about forgotten about the Rolls. I never used
one but remember them. I did have a very old Gillette two
part saftey razor when a teen. I don't think I used it for
long. I also tried a cut-throat razor. I could never get it
sharpened properly but I learned the technique of shaving
with it from watching the students at the barber college
where I used to get my hair cut. Eventually, I learned how
to cut my own hair and have had no dealings with barbers for
decades. You had better be wide awake and not have the
shakes if you are going to use a staight razor. They make
nice collector's items (especially if you like to collect
fingers, noses, ears, etc).
