According to Robert Doyle's book, Straight Razor Collecting 1870 to 1890 for that razor. Mine is stamped Sheffield, England so mine is after 1880 or so. If it didn't have the England in the stamping it would be earlier. There was a law passed that required the country of origin be marked on any import back around that time.

I don't think it is much later then that going by the true wedge blade. Doyle says they started going out of style shortly after the 1880s.
