Torrey Tuesday

Not a gorgeous Torrey, but extremely functional.

New to me and fresh off the hones and balsa this weekend. Performed admirably, as most Torreys do.
 
Torrey Tuesday has once again arrived...

Same razor as last week; a 6/8”, square point, near wedge
Truefitt & Hill 1805
Heritage Collection Ever-Ready 200 in Silvertip
Tabac AS & EdC

Excellent shave this morning after a little experimentation with the 1805.
 
Greetings from WAY upstate (NY). Love this recently acquired Torrey wedge! Even though I was pessimistic throughout the honing process, she provided an outstanding shave tonight. I had to remove a little spine and use 2 layers of tape to get there, but one pass WTG and touch-up and I'm good to go. Hypothetically. That is, if I could actually go somewhere!

Was tired of always using my monogram for TT, so I hit the film last night and got the 136 ready for today. Being in MA I always love using my local razors

Broke out the "Our 136" today.
Truefitt & Hill 1805
Rick Montalvo in silvertip
Pinaud

Great shave despite confirming that:
  1. I am not a fan of 5/8 razors
  2. I am not a fan of the "v-shaped" tang
  3. I prefer heavier grinds
Looks like this razor will go back in the storage pile...
