Here's my Henry Taylor and Brothers. She's thick and sharp. I'm not sure of age but pre-1890 I believe?

No idea how old this Wade and Butcher is other than it's older than me.

Here is my Fredrick Reynolds 15/16 at the toe and 13/16 at the heel. Hand sanded it to 2500 w/d and re-scaled it.

Left to Right in size order.
All Sheffield and all pre 1892(except the last one) but thats the best I can do with dating them.

W.M. Jackson 17/16
Wade and Butcher FBU 8/8
George Wostenholm Masonic etching 15/16
B.J Eyre Hollow Ground FBU 15/16
Wade and Butcher 13/16
B.J. Eyre Statue of Liberty engraving 6/8

Sheffiled wedges were actually the reason I got into straight shaving.
