    Under King George V(1910-1936) they and other cutlers didn't stamp razors with G(crown)R.
    the blade is ground 1/2 hollow
    It's mean "light hollow ground blade", they were made since 1830s. King George IV (1820-1830), so the end of 1820s is good too.
    So, most likely, your razor was made at the end of 1820s.

    It's not uncommon to find early (1820-1840) wedge razors which have been ground hollow later. Sometimes it's well done, other times not so much. I have an early Fenney Tally Ho that was reground to be quite hollow and it's one of my very best shavers.
