Voidmonster,
that is a nice looking piece of steel there!

I will eventually stumble my way into enough information to do this. :)
Hell, I could almost write a novel purely about the WWI refurbished razor I have, since I was lucky enough to get one owned by someone whose records still exist (apparently a lot were lost in WWII).
But like you say, the broad cultural history would be a potentially fascinating book. It's a subject I've been thinking about for some time now.
A comparison between the Lord & Harvey and a Wade & Butcher made between 1821 and 1830.

The Lord & Harvey is the top one, the Wade & Butcher is the bottom (you can just make out the spine stamp on the W&B).

Both blades open.

And the profile of the Lord & Harvey -- classic 'teardrop' shape, as opposed to the W&B and Stimpy's Lord & Harvey, which both have the squared off spine.
