    Default G.B. Kent &Sons razor.....any ideas?

    I can find plenty of info on Kent & Sons history, and brushes...but not one single trace on the internet about them making a razor. Any of you more experienced heads, might could help out with a little info? Thanks in advance.

    No sir, the 2 pics are they only thing on it anywhere. No origin marks, either. Underneath the brand mark it says "Marlborough St.", best I can tell.
