I have just come by an old Trustwell Bros Sheffield steel razor and, thinking to returning it to working condition would like to find out a bit about it. Does anyone know anything about this maker and their razors as I can't seem to find anything on the web about them.

Pics?
The razor would have been thrown away many decades ago if it was not any good.
So whether to restore it or not, depends on the 3 dimensional matrix effort vs. result vs. sentimental attachment.
Pictures are indeed in order to provide any insight on the subject.
By the way, never heard about Trustwell Bros.

Looks nice.
The scale are plastic but not busted. The geometry seems a bit off, but not too bad.
So if you have the stones, you should try honing it.

I probably will try honing it just to try a shave with it, it's very much lighter than my J Elliot that I'm more used to working with so we'll see how I go. It would be nice to know a bit about its history, I found it on a shelf of an old garden shed/workshop in an overgrown garden in Scotland along with a couple of broken slate hones.
