1M, 2L, 3J, 4H, 5O, 6C, 7I, 8K, 9B, 10G, 11N, 12F, 13A, 14E, 15D

1m, 2__ 3j, 4h, 5o, 6c, 7i, 8k, 9b, 10g, 11n 12f, 13a, 14e, 15d

Are you sure there's no trickery here TBS? I see two Wostenholm blades, the Pipe and the Celebrated IXL.

My attempt leaves number 2 blank for that reason.

1,M - 2,L - 3,J - 4,N - 5,O - 6,C - 7,I - 8,K - 9,B - 10,G - 11,H - 12,F - 13,A - 14,E - 15,D

Took me about 5 minutes, I feel like a few are wrong but wanted to take a shot. Lillicraps, classified, and the pipe/I-XL matches were what kept me guessing.

Edit: Okay so I already realize I messed up the Little Devil also. This should be a weekly thing to increase knowledge of the world of wet shaving haha!

I'm late to the game but here's mine...

1-Pipe Razor-------- M-Wostenholm
2-Celebrated I-XL-------- L-Wade and Butcher
3-Satin Wedge-------- J-two little ducks
4-Little Devil--------- H-Barber Hone
5-Obie-------- O-Very bad man who tricks you into spending too much money on fancy shaving soap.
6-Kamisori-------- C-Japan
7-Latigo-------- I-Strop leather
8-Toe-------- K-Razors end
9-Slurry-------- B-Mixture of water and hone particles
10-Lillicraps-------- G-DE Blade sharpener

I'm with Maxi. I·XL & the pipe logo were both Wostenholm. W&B had "The Celebrated".

Yeah, that and the Classifieds were my process of elimination residuals.
