[trippinsting]

awesome! enjoy it!

 

[chilliman64]

very nice, congratulations

Is it a replated Slim, or an original finish Aristocrat? (The "24K" set me thinking, but it's probably the latter.)
The Aristocrats in this style can be very expensive.

 

[malocchio]

great score ! good shaving !

 

[adamz712003]

Blades probably came from a Slim.

good to know I knew it was a Frankenkit from the word go, bu I do have a cased slim that they will go we'll with

 

[JGKC9AYC]

i have always loved torreys. great steel

I got a blade on the way...no scales...got it for less than $10 shipped. I got some bone scales that i'll use for it if I can find some pins & washers reasonable.

A Robert Williams "Purist" and a personalized shave mug from a local company, Mug Revolutions:

looks like dangerous!

 

[TheEye]

omg that is a huge lot

 

[TheEye]

wow that straight is amazing!

 

[Mick]

Did you get it shave ready and use it yet?

 

[RedRocks]

It is neither a replated Slim nor an Aristocrat Adjustable. It appears to be an F1 Executive. Note the knurling on the TTO. A slim has knurling on the entire TTO, whereas this razor does not - much like a Fat Boy. That's how you can tell the difference between them. (Links go to photos @ Mr Razor.)

Very nice score!

oh, man. Time to close this thread before I go into a haze and impulse-buy another razor...

 

[Obiwan]

Congrats. Torreys take great edges IME.

Old Spice Champion aftershave

I love these English Rockets. They're so solid with a nice heft. And look how this one cleaned up!

The elephant here replaces one I broke on Monday. These are the promotional blade banks that Listerine gave away in 1936.

 

[rxonmymind]

Joe,
Great blade banks! Cool bit of info.

 

[igasho]

I only bid on this so I could follow it and have an idea of value in my ebay history, but I bought it instead....oops. Oh well $9 down the tube for a pretty darn clean khaki set.

 

[igasho]

hehe, I think it's not a khaki set razor...not stamped property of army, were all of them stamped that way? it seems like some were and some were not
