Exploring the class differences and life styles of the people around the Sheffield era, you could include everything from royality to child labour. An info-documentary with fictional but historically accurate characters for me that would be an extremely interesting read
    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.
