Brand new to the forum, and new to Straight Razors, did I do good?

[DroneShotFPV]

Between the Torrey and Geneva, You have 2 of the finest "American" made Razors. Torrey was my first straight razor, about 40 yrs ago. Shook like a dog crapping glass, my first shave.

I decided to fully restore it, but destroyed it in the process. Now I darn near have enough razors, that I could shave with a different one, each day of the year.

They can be addictive.

Welcome to the forum.
I too, hone knives n such. If it takes a edge, I can usually hone it.

Good to know my eye wandered towards something decent and not hot garbage! lol To be fair I had scoured these forums for a while, and knowing that Solingen steel is definitely not something you DON'T want.. that probably helped some, but I had never heard of Torrey before this razor, so I am excited to check it out!
The Geneva required some restoration, and if I am honest i still have work to do, but the test run removing some surface rust, as well as getting some of the pitting high up on the spine "less noticeable" has been a great success. There wasn't any pitting "on the blade" either, which is good news for sure.
The Torrey looks like it's good to go, I could probably give her a polish with some diamond paste I have laying around (0.5µm, 0.25µm, 0.1µm, 0.05µm lol) and be happy. I love using my Mikawa Shiro Nagura, Aiiwatani Kiita Tomae, Awasedo and Chu Nagura with razors, and these babies seem to crave those stones. Coticules and my Blue will be the next round, I may even just do it just because I love doing it so much.

I actually do sharpening videos on YouTube as a past time and have a small following, nothing huge, but I love doing it. Sharpening, blacksmithing my own knives, and making videos are how I relax in my older age. If you would have asked me 20 years ago if I would be doing this, I would have laughed at you. lol
Anyway, sorry for the long winded replies, and thank you all so much for the warm welcomes. I look forward to emptying my bank account even more and sharing as well as seeing all you guys have!

Welcome to SRP.
There is a lot of cumulative information here to help with identification as well as guides for repair, restoration, honing, scale making, you name it. One place to check out is the "what are you working on," thread in "the workshop," forum. That thread has been going for a long time and many good techniques are demonstrated there.
As you may or may not have heard, we do not give valuations here as rules prohibit it. Many here are sellers and it would be a conflict of interest for that reason (and others). There are tricks to finding out this information though. One good way is to search the auction sites but set the search settings for sold items, previous/completed sales, whatever that particular site is calling it, and see what similar items actually sold for, not what a seller asks for it. Sometimes asking price is out of whack with real market value. It takes some time to develop an eye for assessing condition for accurate comparison but at least that should provide a range for comparison sake.
Plenty of good fellas here and at one time at least there were a few ladies in our midst. We are willing to help and pass on the knowledge. Plus there are other topics we share and discuss. Look around and feel free to jump in. Hope you enjoy your stay and happy trails to you.

The Torrey and Genco or I should say Geneva are both classic mass produced American razors with solid reputation. Nothing fancy, but they will gitter done. And shaving in the manly fashion will help you to improve your edges. Welcome. Good Luck and Happy Shaves.
