    Default American products co & Torrey 4/8

    American Products 5/8 full hollow. All I could find on this company in business from 1918 - 1963
    And every razor i found on google had the same scales.

    Really didn't need much in the way of resto just a good cleaning

    Torrey 4/8
    I didn't do much sanding or cleaning because the maker marks could almost not be seen and are all but gone.

    Just recycled a set of scales onto it and called it done.

    A Torrey 4/8ths, was my very first razor. It'll teach you everything ya need ta know, about proper shave angle.

    It was also my only razor, up till 6-8 years ago.
