    Just for the fun of it, I'm throwing my 2 cents in dating this razor. Look at the Greaves pictured below.

    Somewhat similar I would say. Notice no Sheaf Works. Started by William Greaves in Sheffield in 1780. His sons joined the company in 1816 to make it William Greaves & Sons. The Sheaf Works building (factory) was started in 1823 and finished in 1826. I am absolutely positive that if this razor was manufactured in the famous Sheaf works, that it would be stamped as such.
    That said I believed this razor dates range from 1815-1825.
