Any info on G. Morrell?

I have recently picked up a 5/8 near wedge, with spanish point. It is stamped
G. Morrell
60 and 61 Burlington
Arcade
Does anyone have info on him and what are your thoughts on quality? I know that 60/61 Burlington Arcade is a street address in London but that's about it. She's a cute little razor that I think will shine up nicely. Pics will follow once we are in the same country together!

Burlington Arcade is quite a nice up market shopping area, quite old fashioned today.

What you have is likely a Sheffield blade made and marked for a specific retailer, i.e. a special order. This apparently was not uncommon in UK. I have two like that. They are both great shavers.

I'm going with natchez. I have a J. Dobie, Glasgow razor with a Sheffield stamp on the back. As far as I've been able to learn John Dobie & Co appears to have been some type of hardware store in Glasgow.

That seems to fit with what another had told me. Thank you gentlemen for the help.
