Hi Everyone,

I am new to the Straight Razor Community, and am wanting to start. I recently went to a Antique shop and purchased a Straight Razor made by Ford & Medley, Sheffield, but my question is it has an engraving with the saying "The Celebrated King William Razor" and has a Crown Symbol above it. I have searched all over the net to understand what the meaning of it is or if it has any significance, but was hoping you guys could help me out. I will post some pictures either tonight or tomorrow. Also is Ford & Medley decent? I am not going to try and hone or Stop this until I use a "Shave Ready" razor to get an idea of what to be feeling for.
