William S. Turner. Anyone know him?

[CongaJon]

With the possibility of being stuck at home for a while, I acquired a few old razors to occupy my time.

One is from William S. Turner. I cannot find any info on the brand. There was a William Turner associated with JR Torrey, but not William S. Looks like a Sheffield to me, but I don't know even that!

Anyone? Sorry for the pic quality. It's from the vendor.

STRAZORS.com - all about classic razors - Thomas Turner & Co., Sheffield.

Possibly?

I suppose it could be one of the Sons... Thanks!

The razor came today. It's a 7/8, surprisingly (disappointingly!) hollow ground in decent repair.

Oh my! We are quite the opposite. I prefer 5/8 and smaller and the more hollow the better. I suppose that is the reason for so many sizes and grinds. Nice looking razor.

Steve, I like em all! I only have a few wedges and after recently acquiring a beautiful Greaves wedge, I decided I need a few more.
