I've been buying individual razors here and there for +/- $20 whenever I get a hankering for another. I decided to see about lots of razors to increase the amount of bang for the buck.
Found a lot of 10 razors that had only one razor that was clearly not salvageable. I figured for potentially 9 useable razors the price was right so I bit on it. The non salvageable blade is pretty obvious whit it missing literally half the width of the blade.
The first I wanted to tackle was the Torrey as I've never owned one and have seen so many people say that they love them. I just used the brass wire wheel on my rotary tool to clean up the few rust spots and polished it up with mother's polish as well as the scales...didnt need to unpin it. I did use a dry scotchbrite pad to clean the gunk from between the scales. It honed up really well and gave a really close shave. Bevel angle is a little steep at 19.1
I'm now working on the Ek-Sel which I'm not sure is even a brand and it has zero other markings whatsoever, but the chip needed taken out so I spent some time on the DMT325 and I was surprised how quickly it came out. Bevel angle here looks about 16.3ish degrees. I'll have to post some pics once I get back to work on it a little more.
