Shoulder plane or rebate plane?
The shoulder plane's blade extends the full width of the body, so it can trim right up to a raised edge, for example into an inside corner. It is mainly used to trim tenon shoulders and cheeks, across the grain, but also for fine-tuning rebates.
A rebate plane is mainly used for rebates along the grain, although many have a spur that helps when working across the grain. The two planes complement each other.
