    It's spelled Torrey, Bill. Yes, they are less expensive and usually not as glamorous as your prized Palmeras.

    Great American razors with much more history, however. YMWV

They are very informative.
    Gerald Witcher wrote a good book, Counterfeiting Antique Cutlery. Out of print since '99 pretty pricey when you find one.

    I'm watching it. Just saw 3 others. I really need to stop bidding on these. It's fun and everything but next thing you know your bidding on 10. I'm running out if Cratex and rouge. Haha. Better off just keep buying customs and jnats

    Wullie, do you think there could be money in reproducing this book and selling it as a genuine original copy?
