Thread: I have a razor I'm trying to identify

The only marking on it says "Beats All Sheffield" in a scroll I'm including a link to a picture of the mark, I'd like to figure out what company made it, if at all possible

Thank you

Please look carefully upon rear of tang or on non-show side concavity for faded additional indicators, but given this tang and shoulder style your razor is most likely ground in Germany and after 1876.

I think (emphasis on think) that is "Beats All, Sheffield" not "Beats All Sheffield"

If it's the same, which it probably is, it's G. R. Jones & Co.

Edit: stumbled on this doing a Google search "Sheffield trade names." It has a wealth of information on makers and trade name s including pictures (line drawings) of marks and stamps. Here is a link for future reference:
