Who Else Loves Little Straight Razors?

**LawsonStone** · 09-20-2010, 08:39 PM

I think I have a penchant for small things. I love firearms, especially small pistols ("pocket pistols"). And as I have started enjoying shaving with and collecting straights, I have slipped into loving smaller straights.

It started with a pair of Dovo Jubilaums. Then there the Dubl Duck Styledge and Dubl Duck Dwarf. Next Dylan shows me this Boker Baby and now sitting on my desk, a diminutive J. R. Torrey. While I know they can be useful for many close spots, I also just love these little razors simply for what they are.

I guess I better retrieve my Augustine from underneath this razor and continue reading!

Not my cup of tea but I would recommend that one with the extremely long monkey tail that has 'Perfect Razor' etched on the blade. Horn scales and an oldie. It has a short blade and they are collectible. I forget the name of the one most often seen but a few different makers mfgd them.

Lawson, you have yourself a Torrey Little Guard, I have a couple of them, they are one of the few square point razors I use. Enjoy her

DePews made one. I believe Joseph Rodgers also made one, and maybe one other. Or maybe they were all (the blanks) made by one source and then sent out to different companies for finishing....

Well I do thank you very sincerely! I really wanted to know the exact model name of this lovely little razor, and you've provided the answer.

I'm in your debt!
