    STRAZORS.com - all about classic razors - George Wostenholm & Son, Sheffield.

    Made at some point in time after 1891 with "England" included in the tang stamp.

    A rather late Wostenholm. Likely from the 10's/20's or so. Modern grind. Hard rubber scales.
    These late Sheffield's are very good razors IMO.

    Yes, I'm just pulling your chain. I'd say its one of the nicest Conquerer's I've seen, yet. I'm quite partial to Mr. Wostenholms work, even though I like a few others as well, George's work always seems flawless, right down to the shave, itself. Thank you, for sharing...

    Geo. Wostenholm is a very respected maker with good reason. They are great shavers and the one you have is in excellent condition. Very nice!
