Thread: What are the top English Straight Razor Manufacturers?

Wullie. This is superb. i've put this list into Excell and have seperated the dates. Thanks for this.

Somebody knows about the PRILYL Bros razor manufacture? I found and restored this beautiful razor but nothing can't found on Google about the manufacturer((
If anyone have the information about the manufacturer or how old could be this razor, i'll be very gratefull))
Thanks in advance for help)

This is a shot in the dark. The closest I could find is a listing for Pribyl Bros. Celebrated Cutlery, Chicago Illinois, ca, 1880 -1905 found here https://www.roadshowcollectibles.ca/...s-of-operation .

My guess is that Pribly Bros. were importers of cutlery to the US. As the razor is marked Sheffield not Sheffield England it was made prior to 1889 after which date country of origin marking were required.

Thank you so much, i think you're right. At the otherside of the blade staying mark "INDIA STEEL" is that say something?

You are welcome and I have to say sorry for not welcoming you to the forum in my first post. The marking "India Steel" is generally thought to be a marketing ploy and signifies nothing of importance about the type/quality of the steel.
