The perforated piece is off a old kerosene lamp where the wick goes through. You are missing the bottom part that has the knob used to adjust wick height.

The small button is also early 1800's. I would say about 1830's.

I agree with the lantern top.

The item with the key hole looks to be an old padlock face.

The last item looks like a partially melted tulip burr die grinder bit.

I think the keyhole piece is part of an old trunk lock.

The cartridge is possibly a .32 rimfire but that's just a guess. To know for sure we'll need you to get an accurate measurement of it's diameter just above the rim. We need a measurement in 100ths of an inch.

As to the piece you asked about being a razor, how thick is it? My first impression is that it looks like a lock plate from a flint or percussion lock gun. If it's around an 8th of an inch or more thick it could be one, and you might want to soak it in vinegar to get the rust off and maybe we can figure it out.

I agree with the lantern top.

The last pic could be a hinge or a door knocker
