Shepherd Brothers Manufacturers Sheffield
Hi, just picked this up from whippeddog.com as a razor to learn how to hone with. Was trying to look up a bit of history but cant seem to find much, was wondering if anybody has some info on it.

There is a listing for them in 1852 as 'american merchants' at Workhouse Croft in Sheffield, and a notice that the partnership was dissolved in 1898.

Man! That is an oldie. Iron collars, wonkey spine and all. A real challenge to hone those, sometimes. I would hesitate to say a good challenge for a beginner! You might want to save it for further down the road as more experience is gained.

That thing is beautiful man! Please dont learn to hone on that one. If it were to be messed up beyond repair, I for one would be heartbroken! Im a huge fan of those vintage English blades. If you want something cheap to practice honing on, pick up a cheap Gold Dollar or something. You'll probably only get a shave or tow out of it before you have to rehone it, but thats alot of practice. A good vintage blade, once honed properly can last a long time and give you great shaves. Of course its your money, but please please please please reconsider.
