    Turner and Colishaw. Made many older Torrey razors from Conn. Mr. Turner soon went to Mass to run Torrey

    Love the lines of this razor! I recently restored a Challenge cutlery razor for a friend, it was an heirloom piece from his great-grandfather. Wonderful job Wolf!

In 1877, the Fredrick Wiebusch Company of New York City purchased the Eyre firm and with it the trademark. In 1889 Walter M. Taussig opened the Challenge Razor Works in Bridgeport, Connecticut, as a subsidiary of F. Wiebusch & Company. The company eventually became the Challenge Cutlery Co. in 1899

    I am currently restoring a beautiful bellied hollow ground 13/16 Sq. Pt. 'Challenge', and it is really a wonderful shaver. Great steel!

    Um...Sorry to disappoint, John, but all are unrestored except the Empire and I posted it a long time ago. All have been on SOTD with exception of the AKC with the shield. I sent it to Martin!

    Seems you have one as well??

    Tom I picture you having a climate controlled "razor cellar" like some rich folks have wine cellars, but with racks of razors sorted by area of origin and year....just like wine, but more useful!
