Hi Joseph. Nice little stubtail. I need to draw upon your vast knowledge and exposure to vintage Sheffield razors. I have a beautiful early stubtail that I need help identifying. It's an 8/8 wedge with a spine thickness just shy of 1/4". The shape is similar to your Rutherford but with more swoop to the spine and blade. The maker's mark is either: G.R , Q.R , G.B , Q.B...over "BEST.STEEL". I'm guessing G.R for George Rex which would fit stylistically its likely production period prior to 1820. It still has its original nearly straight (just a hint of swoop) cow horn scales. Below is my best attempt at recreating the primitive stamp. Any help would be greatly appreciated...as I've been trying unsuccessfully to ID this blade for almost a decade now! Thanks for all your great content! G.R BEST.STEEL

Could it be G.P for George Palmer No.1 st. James's? He used the G.R Crown. I read that his razors were actually made by John & William Ragg. Food food for thought.

I use glycerin and water on my Arks as well. Acts like oil but without the mess! the last 50 strokes per bevel, I use dish soap and water with light pressure. A trick my father taught me 40-some-odd years ago. Leaves a very crisp edge...and cleans the stone at the same time.

Hi, These stones are sedimentary and can be unstable to a degree. Sealing the stone stops water from soaking in at the sides and it also creates a protective case. Untreated, pressure at the sides can cause layers to separate. Thanks
