I have a question. I own two Frederick Reynolds faux framebacks, one 7/8 and one 4/8. Love them both. Here's my question: On the tang it only says "Frederick Reynolds Sheffield." I always assumed that both razors were pre-1895. However, Goins' encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings states that "Frederick Reynolds Sheffield" was only in existence from 1919 to 1926. My understanding is that Goins' is the go-to for accurate information concerning cutlery makers.

Anyone have a thought about that?"
Namaste,
