    I have a couple that are extremely similar. Mine are etched "Our Beauty" but the shoulder less blade is the same. It will teach you the meaning of no pressure when honing. I need to keep a feather touch on the scales with it and it delivers a great edge and fantastic shave.

    You, Sir, are one lucky fellow. $24 actually is about what I've seen a lot of antique stores price them at. My Torrey ranks with the best of my shavers.

    I just sent this razor out to doc226 to get honed, I can't wait to get it back and give it a whirl.

    I also have several Torrey Razors and a Torrey Catalogue from the 1890's. See attachments from catalogue.
