    Default Help needed for razor ID

    Hi guys,
    I bought several razors a few days ago, one of which I know nothing about. As I paid very little for it, seemed like a good deal to satisfy a curiosity.
    The only markings are on the tang and they say "made in Sheffield". As i haven't received the razors yet, not sure on the grind and width. From the pictures it seems to be a rather heavy grind (near wedge, quarter hollow).

    What do you guys think? Is this a genuine Sheffield made razor or just a cheap impersonator?

    Hi! No pic of the tang from other side?
    I would wait for it to arrive first and see if any more markings on other side of the tang then take it from there.

    Unfortunately the other side in blank, no markings to speak of...

    I would say it is a Sheffield razor I have a no name item also, it shaves great, I think were made by apprentices, before having their own brand name etc
