Thread: Old SR identification

I need help to identify this razor.

Today I finished the restoration. The handle is made of buffalo horn. It doesn't seem to be original. However, it appears to be quite old. Now it looks great, after I cleaned it, despire it being cracked. I purposely left the wire with which it's attached.

The razor shaves very softly and effortlessly with it's weight alone. It removes the bristles from the face like a tank. However, it is quite uncomfortable because of the shorter tang. Maybe it's a matter of getting used to it.

I will also be greatful for any feedback and comments on the restoration.

Very nice, i can tell it shaves well from here
There are lots of Makers with the initials JB..I was thinking John Bradshaw but im sure someone with good knowledge will show up ..

Just had a quick browse through the Gales and Martin and didn't see a corporate mark like that but plenty of names that would lend themselves to such initials.

As an aside, George Burch, pen and pocket knife maker, has a lark of a corporate mark with SMEG and a Maltese cross. Was he a fan of Red Dwarf?
