I was using the book " Standard guide to razors third edition"
I've seen already.
So. Or it's a mistake, or they mean another maker.
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
here is one I bought today (have been asking about it in another thread) ... it has a bit more of labels that one can see...
@mauri: did you manage to restore yours, any pics, any more info?
here is a pic of mine:

Hi Miha, I could do some kind of restoration on mine but it doesn't shave that well, it's not among my favourites... Presently I'm moving so I don't have it with me (I left it in the old house). As soon as I get it I'll post a picture!
thanx for the info Mauri, I hope I'll like mine better,.. have a good moving :), I'll be waiting for the pics..
I can't say something bad about G. Johnson razors. I like them.

It's worth noting that George Johnson was listed as a razor-maker in the apprentice rolls of the Company of Cutlers as far back as 1795 (I just posted about him apprenticing Thomas Scargill!)
@manah: thanks for the pic,.. nice to see entire lables :)... nicely preserved scales,.. I am not sure I'll be able to keep them on mine :(
edit: if I'm not mistaken the scales are made of horn, or is it maybe tortoise? Mine have considerably less darker "colour patches"
