    Thank you Ernie!

    Love Torreys. Nice job with that. I have about 30 of them most all 6/8 but I have one 7/8. They shave amazing and hold an edge well. One of my favorite American makers. I'd sure like to come across a big blade like that. Gratz!

    Thanks Karl! I love the Torrey's as well, and they are definitely one of my favorite American made razors as well. In fact all of the razor makers from the Worcester, MA area from back in the day were at the top of the heap IMO. I have several nice ones myself...
