F Fenney and a most unusual WB
Just got some razors in. First up is another tapered razor, dated to ~1840 (thanks Voidmonster). It has a worn etching "An Excellent Razor" and is marked Fred-k Fenney Sheffield. Just some light cleaning and then honing to do.

I got this one for its curiosity. It's a standard enough 1820s razor stamped patent tempered steel, but it's got a wade and butcher stamp on the top of the spine. I've never seen a WB stamped like this. Does anyone else have an example of a maker mark on the very top of the spine?

The frown is nasty though. It's a wedge so it's beyond my experience for fixing. I'm thinking of sending it to Undream for a regrind.
