    So I'm almost down to my 7 day rotation! Two more and I'm golden, so help me out! LOL

    This is a very nice Torrey razor, 9/16". I'm told the scales are probably bone but they look like bakelite or a dense plastic to me. They have an interesting discoloration that adds interest to the otherwise plain scales. The blade closes on center and the scales are nice and tight. 2013-08-05 21.40.14.jpg 2013-08-05 21.41.49.jpg 2013-11-13 22.38.06.jpg 2013-11-13 22.38.52.jpg You can see a bit of hone wear and a spot of pitting (not deep) but it's a good, otherwise shiny blade that's freshly honed. $55 CONUS
    The brush is a vintage Fuller that reminds me of a chess piece. It complements the razor perfectly. It was refurbed with 22mm super badger knot and it's only been used once, as a test (trying to see if I could tell the difference between that, a silvertip and a HMW - maybe I'm unsophisticated but I honestly couldn't. What I COULD tell is that it has very soft tips, yet decent backbone. $30 CONUS
    If I can talk you into the two as a set, $75 CONUS.
