    This is an interesting J.R. Torrey. Blade is approximately 2 1/4" long by 9/16" wide. Though my picture is sort of bleached out, the head of the razor is scalloped and fits tightly into it's celluloid scales so I don't think it has been cut down. Inscribed "Our Beauty" The J.R. Torrey CO. Worcester, MASS.

    Nice. Do you have a picture? I'd like to see it.

    I like the barber's notch! I still have to add one to my collection.

    Great razor and i don't think ether it has been cut. check the writing in the blade. if it was cut writing should go close to the tip but it isn't. it is in the middle. i think this razor's on it's original condition.

    I agree. Looks original. May be what is sometimes referred to as a "travel razor"
