    Default Noob to wetshaving in general.

    Hello all, I have just started this venture in to wet shaving. I have already purchased three vintage DE's a couple soaps two brushes a mug and bowl. I like to try out new things. I am wondering if anyone had any feedback on the blade that is for sale right now in the classifieds the Torrey. Would it be ok for a beginner?

    Thanks for any feedback.

    If its the Torrey I looked at it should shave fine. There is some uneven hone wear, but for a razor at that price point it should be fine. Seller has great feedback, should be fine. Just my 2 cents, let us know how it goes.
    The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

    Hi and welcome. By the looks of the Torrey it should shave fine and should be shave ready if it says so. Good luck with your shaves and any questions feel free to ask
