    No photo, but in a few moments it will be my Sheffield-made 5/8 Silver King by E. M. Dickenson.

    You may be on to something here. I find it hard to resist anything that rhymes. Heck, I've already bought into "Clubman Friday" and it doesn't even rhyme...

    Very nice shave this morning. I really like this Torrey, it'll shave with the best of them.

    Oddly enough, I don't yet have a nice Torrey like yours, but it's on my "Actively Looking For" list.

    I have a few Torreys that I don't use often. They are great American razors. Easy to hone and keep a good edge. I think Steve made his look as good as it does with new scales and a good sanding and polishing.

    Nice Bartmann Robert is it a NOS razor and what size blade is that?

    It is indeed huge and NOS-y <pant>.

    The Bartmann was NOS when I bought it year or so ago at a local antique store, in its original grease, paper, tag and box. The factory edge gives me a perfect shave. The size is around 8/8.

    I'm happy for your good fortune! That is truly a nice find. I typically find only badly damaged generic hardware store razors. 3/8 or 4/8. With broken scales. And they're over-priced.
