Thread: 4/8 Barber Notch Wedge JR Torrey Razor Co

This is nice little wedge. The blade was in bad shape when I got it. It got a rather extensive sanding and buffing to bring it up to a near mirror finish. It is a 4/8 barber notch wedge, a rather unusual blade. I do not see many small wedges with a barber notch.


The scales are a white backing with silver glitter webbing. Nice scales, it is hard to catch the way the light plays off the scales. The pins are 1/16 brass rod with brass over stainless washers, the blade has brass thrust bearings and the wedge is a pearl acrylic.


I honed it up last night and gave it a shave test today. Quite a nice shaving razor. I have more razors than I can use and prefer a larger blade so I will be passing this one on.
