    I was wondering why I couldn't see the blade etching on the first picture that is clearly visible in the second one...

    Maybe they are "before" and "after" pics of a polishing job?

    Yes, I agree, because of the dagger. It looks like the same on this pic.

    I was certain about J. Beardshow&Son, untill Manah confused me with this Joseph Allen & Sons. So I need some clarification... Oh, sorry for the pics, it was before and after polishing and I have no idea what it was written before.

    BTW Manah greetings from Kiev! and yes the razor in Ukraine now...

    So, what do you think guys? It's J. Beardshow & Son or Joseph Allen & Sons?

    Joseph Allen & Sons. IMO.
    J. Beardshow & Son, Baltic Works, Sheffield have another "dagger":

    Many thanks Alex, finally I got the right answer. Oh, yes "dagger" a bit different, I can distinguish them now.

    Alex is correct - not Beardshaw at all!

    It doesn't make identifying the razor any easier... plus it's kind of a shame to lose the original character and marks of the blade IMO. Still a nice razor though.

    You're absolutely right, lack of original charisma, but still a nice piece of art from Sheffield
