Well here goes! The first is a Frederick Reynolds and a Wade & Butcher concave grind, sometimes called framebacks! the second is a Boker extra hollow ground and a Thistle Cut. The third is a J.R.Torrey and a W.B.Co. Toledo blade! The last picture is my first and favorite shoulderless. It is a Wedgeway Army Navy!
all are 5/8s except the concave grinds which are 6/8s
The last two are actual framebacks for comparison to the concave grinds for those who don't know the difference!

So, if this thread is any indication, crichton and I are the only ones who like shoulderless razors?

By the way crichton, I really like the looks of the Simmons hardware razor!! If you ever decide to get rid of it contact me first!

Hi - I do have a few of this type of razor but have always known them as 'Bismarck' style blades. I guess this is another of those questions of differing nomenclature! I looked on this thread expecing to see 1790's-ish pieces with no shoulder or indeed 'drop' to the blade (the thing I term a 'shoulder' simply because of the shape). So what could my version of shoulderless blades be called for a club name?
