    Default Classic American Steel: 15/16 Torrey 'Big Boy'!

    A real Beauty...just finished restoring this classic 15/16 'J.R. Torrey, Worcester, Mass.' razor. I really like this razor...what a great shaver! Reminds me a lot of many of the '14's' out there. Crocus finished blade with original restored scales, and domed stainless steel collars. I really think the stainless steel collars add the right effect.

    This one's a keeper for sure and for certain...don't often find these Big Torrey's out there in the wild anymore, and this one certainly qualifies as 'Big': very heavy in the hand with a spine width of 9/32.


    Enjoy!
