I think VR was from 1837 to 1901 (IIRC) the humpback and slight smile seems to place it in the mid 1800's. It's been a while sence I dug around in the date books, just going off memory (rather faulty at times

James Codfer. I have found no information on him. It has jimps on the thumb side of the tang. Rescale is ~pine with copper horse leather rivets. My guess is 1860-1890. I would love to know its story! She shaves very well and has held a good edge for a couple years.

I got this one awhile back and just love the blade design. It says Edward Smith and no maker. I am assuming is is a Sheffield razor made for Edward Smith of 3 Cheapside which I take it is a London address. Does not say England or Made in England either. If it is not a Sheffield mods please delete it.

This is a Wade & Butcher 5/8 wedge with custom made Ebony scales nickel silver pins and stainless steel washers, and blood red acrylic wedge, I've just finished this one for a member from another forum, the original scales were shot beyond rescue, and there was a nasty nick out of the blade, the owner wanted to keep all the etching so I had to be very careful while restoring this razor, I could only take it so far, I was also told by the owner that he wanted wooden scales, lucky for him that I had a nice piece of Ebony waiting to be used, well now for the photo's.

Being a thread about Sheffield blades, I figured I would post mine. They arent as nice as most in here, but they are still Sheffields, and Im quite proud of them.

Here's my three sheffield razors! The Joseph Rodgers is my best shaver, with the Manhattan on a close second. The Thomas Turner is rescaled with walnut, finished with shellac.
