Not sure I can teach anyone anything but here are a few thoughts. In my opinion the best place to start is looking at a LOT of razors, compare them in terms of what you most commonly see vs unusual findings for similar/dissimilar marked and/or shaped blades. read what others have said regarding those blades, shapes, grinds from the particular timeframe for each blade in question (Not everything written here is accurate and many times newer findings clarified earlier inaccuracies or misunderstandings so diligence is required when sifting through old posts here). I've been somewhat prone to jumping the gun myself and have inserted a foot or two into a wide open mouth
I personally Also look for obvious and blatant differences in surface texture, often regarding tangs and blade faces this can be more readily observed in person than in pics so I purchase an insane amount of blades just to examine sometimes. The level of Oxidation and the pattern it presents in are sometimes telling on more well executed regrinds. Traces of a blade etch under obvious grind lines are a dead giveaway.....
well, I guess after writing this far it will best to post pics for illustration purposes. I'll post a few pics later on.......Last edited by silverloaf; 11-20-2017 at 10:37 PM. Reason: misspelling
