    Default Torres model 120

    My Granddad from Sweden bought this about 1906 or 07. It was passed down to me from my Dad. I've seen a lot of photos of Torrey Razors. This was never used much and well cared for. I had to have it re-bevelled by Howard at The Perfect Edge. Turned out it was "double bevelled" by me before I knew what I was doing. Shaves beautifully now.

    Nothing shaves like an heirloom razor!

    It's very nice. I preferred a heavier one when I started. This is only a 4/8". But know I'm finding its the learning curve that gets you to appreciate a narrow, lighter blade. Especially a Spanish tow.
