Hey All - I've recently been reading a few threads where people have found magnificent treasures. Razors that are nearly 200 years old (or older) and they're still around, still being used - just an amazing thought. As someone had posted in a previous thread "the thought that ten generations ago someone cherished that razor, and now it's in your hands for safekeeping."

I'd love to start looking for one of these older pieces, but aside from the few threads I've read, I'm not sure what brands to looks for, or where to find them (for example I've searched eBay for Sheffield and Wade & Butcher, then paged through the many results looking for the few tang stamps I'm familiar with, but thinking there might be a better way).

I thought someone here might be able to offer some guidance (brands, stamps, search methods, anything would be great) - if so, much appreciated!
