    some b4 pics as well. the spot on the back was deceptively deeply pitted after I removed the rust. at first I was not going to remove it but It just staring me down and eventually I couldn't take it anymore. its just a tiny blip now.

    and a midway shot, all disassembled, blade and scales got a workover, wedge got a light polishing to clean it up. put back together with new brass.

    Looks great. It probably shaves great, too.
    What size is the blade?

    thanks, the blade is 6/8, very comfy in the hand. I honed it up before taking the pics and theres one tiny spec still on the bevel. it wont affect the shave whatsoever, its up high enough on the bevel but its still bugging me so I might drop down to a mid level grit and rehone just enough to where it stops taunting me! then ill shave test her. I havnt had a Torrey yet that disappointed!
