    I have made my own injector blade carriers to use in my Enders razors, but I have found an adapter that should last much longer than my attempts. It's a little pricy, but in the end I think it will be worth it. I found it at Hendrix Classics. It is more robust and sturdy than my attempts. The pictures are from their site. The blade is held in place with magnets and bumps up against a shoulder. I love my Enders razors and wish that blades were still available, but this adapter will make my razors get a lot more face time. Hopefully it will get here sometime this week. I plan to use my Enders razors for next week's shaves.

    Waiting on this. Torrey's "OUR 136." This was their top of the line razor. I did some research into the name, since "OUR 136" seemed like an odd name for a razor. Turns out, #136 is a standardized shoulderless blade shape, common across various manufacturers, mostly German, much like the #14 blade shape, made popular by Filarmonica, but not limited to them. Torrey's version of the 136 seems to be the best of these, according to those who have used various models of 136.
    (Edit: correction. The 136 seems to be a reference to an internal numbering system. I have been unable to find other razors that used the 136 number and the same blade profile. See pic below.)

    The blade shape is quite modern looking to our eyes, despite being over 100 years old.
    (Edit: this particular box style originated in 1909)

    J.R. Torrey was one of the premier manufacturers of straight razors in the United States, and they failed to believe that the age of the straight razor was ending. Their lack of diversification led to a swift end for the company around the mid-1950's. The saga of the Torrey family is a rags to riches, and back to rags story, unfortunately.

    Torrey razors are known for their exceptionally hard tempering, and long lasting edge, but otherwise seems to be one of those brands that slips beneath the radar much of the time, and don't get discussed on the forums very often.

    This razor seems to be in good shape, and the tortoiseshell (?) handle is nice looking. The leather covered case with built in stropping strips is another unusual thing that is rarely seen. I'm looking forward to getting it.

    Edit: having never owned anything made of tortoiseshell, is this enough to conclusively identify it? I know dyed horn can resemble tortoiseshell as well.
