I think this is a Marshes and Shepherd, there is no name remaining on the tang. But the shape and style seem to point that way.

You appear to have mounted an ax head in your razor scales.

Do any of you think this posably a Marshes & Shepherd ? Many of the design features I see from the above pics point to this conclusion, but this is the only mark on the razor...

My bet would be that yes, it is a Marsh Bros. / Marshes & Shepherd. I think that trace of mark remaining is part of the crown of the royal cipher which Marsh Bros. habitually stamped, sideways on, on the tangs of their razors.

Just as a follow up, I got the Marshes & Shepperd razor from ebay a few weeks ago, and it's already quite possibly my favorite shaver. It was is pretty good shape when it arrived, and I wasn't equipped to do any polishing or super-fine sanding, so I just honed it up and threw it in the rotation. Now, I'm thinking that I won't be able to take it out of the rotation long enough to finish touching it up when I get my hands on some Maas.

come on gentlemen step right up, step right up. A troubling situation has arrived in the razor club and that is the use of thumbnail pictures. I know that some of you old timers still remember when the razor clubs were a thing of beauty! with large glossy pictures of razors and we viewed until our hearts content. but those days are through it would seem. I beseech all the members of the razor clubs to take the poll in the general section and vote to restore large pictures to our beloved razor clubs. It is up to us gent and together we can restore these clubs to there former glory!!!!!!
