    Welcome to SRP Powerflx, somehow I think your razor reads Hovenden Hilling Hollow Ground Razor.

    Robert Hovenden was born in 1830, R. Hovenden & Sons Limited was a wholesaler and exporter of pharmaceutical and hairdressing products. The company was established in London.The company sold a wide range of products such as razors, combs, perfumes, toiletries, mirrors and walking sticks. However the company seemed to be best known for being "human hair merchants". More then likely your particular razor was made in Sheffield, and hard to tell its age without seeing any picture but probably something like 1880-1900.
