    Very nice work. I have not been fortunate enough to come across a razor by that maker yet.

    Unreal! Great transformation Tuzi. That blade and tang shape share a bit of Wade and Butcher character. Again top notch work

    There's a George Webster razor manufacturer in a 1841 Sheffield directory and also 1846 both at 33 Howard street Sheffield.
    Here's an old view of Howard street nearby to 33, the big building at the top with clock tower is Walker & Halls cutlery factory.

    Regards Brian

    Thanks for the positive feedback fellas! And thanks, Brian, for the great info and picture - it sheds light and perspective on the whole project. This is the only one I've come across by this maker. Great steel as you would expect out of Sheffield. It delivered a top notch shave this morning, very impressed.
