Beautiful. I love Torreys.

for that path is sharp as a razor’s edge, impassable,

Here's a shot of my latest Torrey. I snagged it on eBay for $22 and when it arrived I was surprised at how nice it was.

Hey there!
Just picked up a Torrey 5/8" #156 "The Barber" yesterday for around $15.00 In real nice shape & just needed a touch up on my domesic slate hone & a go on my Koken Shell horse hide strop to shave great. This blade is in my top 2 along side my J.A. Schneider & Co. "The Peoria".

I got one! My barber notched Torrey 5/8 arrived today. It was touted as restored and the blade is beautiful, though there's a bit of rust on the tang around the pivot. Now I've got to figure out how to get the rust cleaned up. Couldn't wait, had to shave with it. So this is what a sharp straight feels like!
I think I may send it to gssixgun for new scales and a nice buff up. Pics to follow.
