I recently purchased a razor which was stamped with William's mark, putting it solidly in the 1830-1837 date range. This is not so unusual in itself, but it was made by one W. English of Lewes. Lewes is in east Sussex, on the southern end of England and doesnt seem to be known for being a cutlery town. As such, information is proving difficult to come by. The only information I could find on a W. English, cutler, of Lewes was showing a man by that name and in that location going bankrupt around 1815. I'm hoping one of our more scholarly members knows if this could be the same W. English, or a son, etc... anything really. The razor itself is a 5/8, definitely reground, wearing celluloid scales.
