Thanked: 2Help ID this razor
Picked up a straight today, and I was wondering if anyone could give me more information about it. I'm not exactly sure how to measure the blade but it is just over 5/8 of an inch from the spine to the edge, and about 2 3/4 inches long. Pictures to follow soon.

Made in Sheffield, England by George Butler & Co., maybe distributed or marketed by Trinity Works. Part of a 7-day set originally (the monday razor). The blades made in Sheffield are well known for their quality.

Very close... the trinity works was a foundry where the steel was made and Butler was affiliated with it. these razors are pretty nice to use i have one in a spike point.
some other "works" that come to mind:
Marshes & Shepherp were at the "pond works"
southern & richardson were at the "don works" as was Cooper Bros & Sons
john baker at the "wheedon works",
brookes & crookes at the "atlantic works"
Williams Greaves was at the "Sheath works"Be just and fear not.
