The one I had was an excellent shaver unfortunately I discovered a crack in the blade so it is now retired.

My very first razor I ever bought was a George Butler. Still have it and love it. A very good shaver!
Burls, Girls, and all things that Swirl....

I have a George Butler "Art" and it is a fine shaver and a good example of classic Sheffield style....fairly plain, but highly functional!
Just call me Harold

Should be good. Is it one of two that are on eBay? If so look closely. I think one has a Nick center of blade that may lead to a crack

It would depend on the razor you buy but the mark is certainly respected. Originally Posted by Mattmedz

Looks like a good un. Early - mid 19oo's at a guess ?

England stamp means post 1890.
