His, Her, Their, is often used to date a particular razor here. Not knowing this well, perhaps to do a forum search on the subject will get some good info.

Such as this thread; http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...esty-date.html
Tom is so right. I have read it a few times & I have been to the links on this thread & to the links provided on those threads as well. These different slogans were used as selling points for the particular maker of the straight razor that had these inscriptions on their tangs in those days & it made a difference to many buyers who had a personal preference for the type of straight razor they bought then & the quality of it as well. Joseph Rodgers & Sons, Wade & Butcher plus several other makers used royalty stamps on their razors. They aren't as plentiful as the many others out there but the Sheffield makers mainly used it plus I think I have seen some others use it as well. I'm sure Neil commented on many also as he was very informative on many makers.
