I always thought it was unique Appreciate the information!! I think part of what is amazing to me is these still survive and in some cases could still be used after all these years. Neat stuff!
Old Sheffield blades are very smooth shavers when correctly sharpened.

Wow Thanks for sharing . Thats a lot of pretty right there. The blade etchings are really neat and interesting. All those look on the older side too! The mother of pearl pair is just stunning!

Best

I have always been amazed that there were so many companies making razors and so many different handles and etchings etc. I realize its like anything once the factory was running and you had a system you could turn them out and even private label etc. But still amazing imo

There was a lot of variety.
All the razors I posted above are 1870 or earlier. The no name stub tail is about the same age as yours.
