Need help identifying old English razors

Hi,
I just joined these forums after browsing for a while, having recently started restoring and shaving with straight razors. I have a couple recent acquisitions that I need some help with.
The first is this Wade and Butcher razor. The blade has an interesting shape with the notch on the bottom near the shoulder, but the spine is even more interesting with it's half bevel. Is this a known blade shape/style or a one-off oddity?

Next I have this early razor marked "Old English Razor" on the spine, with a "GR" and a maltese cross stamp on the tang. Does anyone know who the maker might be? I have not turned up anything in my research online.

Thanks in advance for any help that you may be able to offer.

My guess is that the GR is for George Regina or King George. The problem is that there were 5 or 6 King Georges so it'd be hard to tell which one.

There is a wade and butcher on the bay at the moment with the same spine as yours.

GR most probably means XVlll century. Not bad for a beginer.

thebigG, if you have that auction link would you mind messaging it to me, I could not find it on ebay.

I had thought the Old English Razor was very early 1800's, and that is within a King George's reign. I had hoped the GR was a makers mark, but it's still a very cool razor nonetheless. I plan on giving it a mild cleanup in my vibratory tumbler and make some new horn scales for it to replace the bug eaten ones.
