    Cool Can any one ID this razor?

    I Just bought a old razor and its the best shave ever for me.
    I have never seen one like it.It says old english on top of the blade and near the pin it says MILNS. and under that its hard to read but looks like some letters are tfnt tempe. the blade is about 7/8 inch and 3 3/8 cutting edge 5 3/4 total blade lingth to tip of spline. JMB is on the scale. and its a wedge.
    Thanks for any help.

    My congratulations.
    It's really nice old English razor made by Benjamin Milnes. The company in business since 1787. Located in Worrall, near Sheffield.

    Nice old razor! I've also found a listing for an A. Milns & Co. Sheffield but no dates provided.

    I'm not sure. But I think A.Milns & Co. Sheffield is another company.
