I have one tucked away somewhere... an interesting concept that made
sense competing with Gilette Blue Blades but nowhere near as sharp as
today's disposables. Recently I treated myself to a Gilette Mach 3
Turbo, has *three* blades (the cherry red color grabed my attention),
geeze but that thing can shave tough beard, don't even feel it
shaving... so far I've gotten better than twenty shaves from the first
blade and no indication it's any duller than shave number one. I can't
even go back to the single edged BIC, wouldn't even attempt the Rolls.
