Except the one in auction #: 131223294986
Because it's mine! I'm selling what I consider to be the finest razor in a dwindling collection. :cry:
I need the money for other things. If anyone has any specific questions about this razor, just PM me and I'll be happy to answer.

That's a curvy beauty, Chris, and exactly the kind of razor I favor. Wish I wasn't broke right now!:banghead:
Hi Chris, inquiring minds want to know, how many 'watchers' did you have before you posted this heads up, and how many like by later tonight ? I bet you'll have a slue of them ...... besides me. That is a great razor ! :gl:
Thats a looker indeed! Good luck with your outcome, I am sure you'll regret letting that gem go.
I have it in my watch list but don't tell my wife, she'd hurt me.
It is the most curvaceous blade I've ever owned and love it for that reason. So far not a slew of watchers, Jimmy. My guess is the economy is still not as we'd all like it to be.
The Torrey with the scale lock is going too, Jimmy. I haven't seen any other razors with that feature.
Thanks guys.
ChrisL
Okay, I just put it on my watch list too-steady, boy!
Great looking blade there. I wish I had money to throw my hat in the ring. What made you decide this wasn't the ONE blade to keep?
I can see the ease with which it must shave in its shape. It's beautiful. I'm a little "over extended" at the moment but I'll keep an eye on it. Tried a single bid but was automatically over bid :gl:
If I didn't have a huge list of other things I need right now, I would participate in the bidding. That's a beauty, no doubt.
But I'll be watching!
I'm paring down my collection to a handful of smaller wedges, a few hollow grounds, coticules and thuringians. I loved collecting razors and such but have not had the time to comb the antique stores diligently like I used to so my collection has gathered dust for too long. Home repairs and other interests with greater pull have won out...Quote:

All my razors,hones,strops, brushs will be sent to one SRP member ( a great friend)
In the words of the immortal Waylon Jenninigs, I may be used, but I am not used up:) YET
I just want that glow in the dark stone you have pix lol....thatd give me something to use/conversation piece with customers at my shop, but I'll probably die first anyways...4 females in my house is a sure sign of an early exit from this life...
Just FYI, this is how ChrisL packs a razor for shipping (razor pulled out of the middle of the green bubblewrap). "Thorough" does not do it justice. As the buyer, it is appreciated and will be reflected in feedback.
It arrived today, as gorgeous as it is online. I'll take good care of it while I have it. ...as others here have been so nice to point out that "I can't take it with me". :-(
Though I will likely put an edge on it and take it to my face.
Anyway, nice blade, nice shipping ChrisL. The metal wedge was a nice and unexpected surprise too.

Wow - wish I had seen this earlier, what a truly fantastic gem! Totally unique and probably not to be seen in that condition....darn...missing this one hurts!Quote:

Watched that auction,great blade for sure.I think might have gone for more in the SRP classified.
Hate kicking ebay back 10% of the sale price:(
I had seriously considered bidding on it but it would have been out of place in my ragtag collection.
I'll be your friend!!Quote:

Hey - I'd love to see a pic of this Torrey razor, never seen a, "scale lock"...
See the classifieds rules within ;Quote:

I've seen one other in the past 7 years and it had replacement scales without the lock. Chris's was the only one I've seen original.Quote:

I darn near bought that razor. . And the Torrey as well ! But it would have arrived while I was at work and the significant other is already mad . Plus I have four others heading my way that she will intercept while I'm away at work.......:angel:
I only saw six ads at any given time but otherwise it's unlimited? Sorry to bee off topic guys.Quote:
