Hi everyone
I've been an unoffical collector of straightrazors since I recieved several from my Dad's estate. Since I'm retired I now have time to do a little research on what I have.
Reading over some of the post, this looked like a good place to start.

Welcome to SRP. I'm inheriting a few straights myself, and getting into shaving with straights as well. This has been a great place to learn the ins and outs of both.

Hi,
You have really beautiful blades there. Specially i find the one on the bottom very interesting.
I have exactly the same as your top razor. It is 'George Butler & Son, Trinity Works, Sheffield, England'. On the circle there says 'ART'. One the blade there is Shakespeare and the text 'Keen as this razors edge invisible' and 'Love is Labor Lost'. Very good shaver it is.
GB & Son worked between 1848 - 1926.
I cannot say anything about other razors you have, but they surely are beautiful.'That is what i do. I drink and i know things'

Wow. Those are really neat razors. I can't give any info on them, but up close pics of the shanks might be helpful. I can make out Sweden on the bottom one. That's a really interesting blade too. The middle blade with the barber's notch running all the way back to the shank is unique too...at least I haven't seen any like that before (though that's not saying a whole lot). Thanks for sharing the pics!

I have a Joh Engstrom frameback that is nearly identical to the one you have pictured.
I can't tell you much about it except that it shaves very nicely.

Thanked: 1 Two more Razors
One is an Antoni Tadross. Have part of the box that it was stored in, What little I can make out it says Kraut & Dougal Chicago.
The other is a Northfield Cutlery Co. Conn.This one seems to be nearly a wedge or extermely shallow hollow grind.

Sure looks like a wedge to me. In the third pic...did that scale get burned? That looks like a scorch mark.
