    Got this interesting unknown maker in, has to be Sheffield, the only marking is ‘Superior Temper’, and it is. The steel is super hard and fine grained. It took over 2 hours on a slurried Shapton Glass HR 500 just to re-form the paste-rounded bevels. Light wear, patina is shallow, and it looks good. And odd. The heel seems to say post 1800, but the upswept nose shape and vestigial dip at toe says late 1700s. Fun razor for sure, near wedge.
