The top one is marked Williams Razor Co, Worcester, Mass. It also has The Williams gold-washed on the face.
The middle one is marked J. R. Torrey Razor Co, Worcester, Mass.
The bottom one is marked The "Artist", J. R. Torrey Razor Co.
I noticed the two Torreys at an antique mall last week, so after a little research I went back this morning to pick them up. It turns out that the store was having an anniversary sale, so they came at a 20% discount.

This is the setup I have just acquired, my first in DE shaving:
Merkur 34G, Omega 48, L'Occitane Pure Shea Butter, Oriental Shave Cream (made in Melbourne, glycerine based) and Feather blades.
Unfortunately I have to wait until Tuesday to use the razor (it came today in the mail) as I'm doing some extras work in a movie about a bushranger and have been told not to shave until after the shoot. We'll see how I go after that. Looking forward to the learning curve ahead of me!
