I took a chance on this one because to me it looks a lot like a Sheffield razor but it has Chinese writing on it. I got it cheap enough. What do you think?

Wondered who would get that! Thinking W&B to Whomever. Obviously reground from a wedge. Should make a great shaver.
Sure! It probably had Joesph Elliott's or Wade and Butcher's Celebrated Chinese Razor upon the front blade face as-made.
Subsequent regrinding erased that. More than a hundred years ago!
I did a bit of research and found a translation of the the stamp, it says... in cantonese ..." engine46 please stop buying up all the good stuff, you are causing much angst and jealousy amongst others ! "
Engine, you've got bad RAD, when are you opening your straight razor museum ?
Buy what you like. It's OK! Really! :D Neat razor! :D
