    Default Help with JR Torrey

    So I am in the possession of a JR Torrey straight that I can't find any information on. In full disclosure, as I am not a straight user, I will probably sell this on the BST. It is a 5/8ths barber notch with a bone handle and copper pins. It also has an engraving on the blade that looks like initials. I'm guessing it's pretty old due to the bone and copper, but I'll let the experts decide that. What I'm looking for is a fair price that I should sell it for. I paid a pretty good chunk of change for it. It's in pretty good condition: no chips, small amounts of staining on the blade, pins are snug, and very little hone wear.

    Even though I'm not too fond of bone scales it sure is a beauty . I don't know enough to help you though.

    It's certainly a nice looking razor and Torrey are definitely one of the more sought after makers. As for what it's worth? That's really hard to judge.

    Yeah, I know it's hard to price these. That's why I just put it on the BST for what I paid plus a tad extra for shipping.

    Looks to be a fair price.

    I'd agree with that.
