Sheffield Razor?????
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!"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

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 ! "

It's time for me to stop buying. I'm supposed to be in selling mode! I bought one thing a couple days ago which I'll be showing soon. It is a George Wostenholm I-XL belt buckle with the American flag with 13 stars on it representing the 13 colony's. Originally Posted by Wirm
