    Default Moustache Razor ID, anyone?

    Folks,

    I just acquired a 7 day set of Moustache Razors on ebay. Won't be in my possession until the postal strike ends here in Canada. But I was wondering if anybody knows anything about the manufacturer. The marking on the tang has "UNDERWOOD 56 HAYMARKET" - no other markings.

    Thanks!

    Very interesting. I've never seen any like that. Haymarket would be an area in London IIRC but you'll have to wait for manah to see this to get the details. Nice score.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Definitely has the styling of some Sheffield steel.

    Thanks. I've managed to discover that H. Underwood was a cutlery manufacturer and retailer at 56 Haymarket and Russell Court, Drury Lane, London, from the 1820's to the early 1900's. It's a start, anyhow....

    I have nothing to add, with the exception of H. Underwood.
    I've found M. Underwood. Maybe, it was a family.
