    Default Torrey in disguise?

    Went for a swim in the Bay last night and came up with this one. Marked Worchester. Looks like a non branded Torrey. Yes, no, wishful thinking?

    The Worcester Razor Co. was a Torrey competitor and was in business from
    1900 to 1930, while the Torrey Razor Co. operated from 1880 to 1963.

    I have several of each and find that the Worcesters are equal in quality to Torrey. I will never part with my scarred old 15/15 Worcester, because it is such a nice shaver. Congratulations!

    Agreed, and very under-rated.

    No arguments there. I got it thinking it really was a Torrey. Same city, very similar, if not same tang. I put a bid on another one last night that someone else got. I have 2 Torreys and they took great edges. I'm looking forward to cleaning this one up and honing it.
