I been going to lots of local flea markets lately and finding nothing but Kriegars (sp?) and orange country chopper straights. It was tempting....but i respectfully passed paying 15 bucks for a straight blade with flames and motorcycles on it.
Anyways, I decided to go to the local antique mall to look around today. I found quite a few straight razors, im still somewhat new to this, so i would like feedback regarding what i bought.
This is a "Biltmore" boar brush, I payed 15 bucks for it...after a shampoo and conditioning treatment it feels pretty soft. Havent used it yet, but im looking forward to giving it a try. Obviously it wont come close to my Shavemac
Unfortunately, I didnt have much time to look around at all the razors they were closing in about 20 minutes. But i knew i wanted to buy something...i saw a few w&bs, well above 100 each. Then i noticed this Torrey, which is a name i have seen thrown around here and on the classifieds. I paid 30 dollars for it. I liked the color of the scales, and the shape of the blade. Unfortunately i dont know how to measure or i could give you some more detail...but it is smaller than my 6/8 dovo.
Anyways, I would greatly appreciate it if the expert eyes here could lend me a hand. What do you think...did i spend too much?
Also, im sending the Torrey in to Rayman for honing. Along with 3 other blades. It is dull as can be
