Got this in the mail today. It's a 7/8 with the barest hint of hollow.

George Crookes & Co. dates to 1840-1860 or so. Before 1840 he was flying solo making scissors and table knives, but in 1840 he brought his sons in. None of the listings I can find mention razors. It's possible that George's son George, who became a general merchant in the 1860's had razors made under the company name, but I'd bet they made razors on the side.

There's really not much more to see about this razor. It's in standard black horn scales, the pile side is unmarked and the metal is in pretty good shape, all things considered.

As for that 'Chinese' on the blade, I kind of doubt they're even real Hanzi characters.

I know there are a number of razors out there with similar stamps. Anyone else want to share here?
