Thread: What do you call this one?

I am still trying too learn all the names of the grinds. Some can tell right away,others well we struggle. This Torrey razor was a ebay find for around $5 USD. It is a wonderful shaver that feels a little different but still gets the job done. I am just curious what you call it.

Thanks Glen

Odd, it looks like a wedge blade mated with a fully hollowed spine, only thing I could liken it to would be a frameback, though a frameback tends to have a shallow wedge ( as opposed to this robust wedge ) and a more circular spine ( again different to this one ).

I've never heard of a proper name for this grind and usually call it a grooved-spine. I've got several like this, but this is the first Torrey I've seen with this grind. I like the grind and find it particularly attractive. For some reason, every razor I've owned that had this grooved spine has been an excellent shaver.
