What's new

New Member Introduction

This is a great site! I started shaving in 1960 with a 195 Adjustable and a brush. I lost the Fatboy years ago and now have two 195 Slims, a Murker Vision and Gimbles 1000 Pure Badger brush.

Using your sight for refrence, I've added a Muhle R89 and a Rooney 3/1 Super Silvertip.

I've had an old J. R. Torrey straight razor for years and I'm thinking of sending it out for restoration...this could be the start of somthing.

Welcome to the site. Just a warning - it can instigate new collections and acquisition disorders, not to say that is a bad thing! There are many great people here that have a wealth of knowledge on many subjects. It is a great resource.
 
Welcome to the good ship B&B. Take a stroll on the promenade deck and enjoy the voyage. :thumbup1:

Always remember, relax but be vigilant when you shave!

Welcome to B&B!

Do you have any pictures of the Torrey?
 
Luc,

It's a 5/8 and it says The Celebrated Hollow Ground Razor on the blade. I'll take and post a picture for you.

Sorry, no luck posting a picture of the Torrey as I've been unable to find the link needed to create a photo album.
 
If you have the picture, note where the paper clip is on the displayed screen.
