Thread: Help with vintage razor info

Hey guys, i hav a few vintage razors that i have picked up from various places (antique shops and friends) and i was hoping that someone here can give me more information on them, like quality, age, value, and how rare.
i have started collecting them, and these are just two of the 5 that i have

and also, here is the information that i have
the first is a JR Torrey Razor, the blade says full double concave on it
the second is a diamondine, that is all i know on either one of them
the boxes pictured are for these razores, the red for the torrey and the other one for the diamondine

We dont do values on SRP. I cant tell you much about them. I like the torrey with the inlayed tang tho

value isnt really that important to me, i am more interested in age and quality, especially since i got the torrey for free, and the diamondine for like 10 or so if i remember correctly
also, do you know the quality of either by brand name?

Torrey and Diamondine are both "known-good" brands. No problem there. You'll get lots of hits on this site with a "Search" on the Forums.

Torreys that I own are among some of the best shaving razors I have, I've got a Torrey Wedge that I'm waiting to get back from a total restore by Ernie, hope to have it back next week some time. Here is a link to Torrey Razors,,,,,,,,
