    Default 6/8 J. R. TORREY (Hairline repaired) - Shave Ready

    GREAT BEGINNER RAZOR

    (5)
    Manufactured 1853-1963. Back of blade almost straight with round point and single shoulder. Blade measures approximately 3 X 6/8. On blade "THE CELEBRATED - HOLLOW GROUND RAZOR". On shank "THE J. R. TORREY CO. - US with two headed spear thru it - WORCESTER, MASS.". Blade cleaned, polished and honed shave ready. Light pitting by toe. Hairline crack about ½" from heel secured with silver solder. ( I have a W & B that I fixed this way and have shaved with it for 2 years.). Black hard rubber scales cleaned and polished. A small piece missing at pivot end. Original pins and washers.


    Light coat of oil for protection on blade. Please look at photos as they are best description.

    Honing: One layer of electrical tape on spine. Bevel set on 600 grit diamond hone. Then 6000 water stone and finished on 12,000 oil stone, 20,000 Jasper. Then stropped on canvas with diamond paste and then leather and disinfected. A $18.00 VALUE FREE.

    I personally test shave each razor before final disinfection. Shave ready is different to each person. Factors like light or coarse beard or beard length come into play. I have a heavy beard and test shave every razor on a two day growth. If razor gives a close comfortable shave I call it shave ready. If it does not shave right I re-hone the razor.

    These razors are not restored to like new condition. They may have some pitting or dark spots none of which affects edge or shave. Please look at photos as they are part of the description. If you have any questions or need more information feel free to contact me.

    Outside U.S. I pay first $4.00, buyer pays balance USPS First Class shipping.
