Thread: Unusual Ca. 1826-1850 Greaves 4/8 'Mustache' Razor

Here's an interesting 'little beauty' I've had in the To Do Pile for awhile...finally getting around to doing some of the many 'chores' I've got to do on my personal collection (Like 'Pinning Up' all the razors I've restored: This is for you Tom and Martin!!!)

It's a Greaves in Sons, but it's size ( 4/8 ) is atypical of most Greaves that I've seen. That's not to say there aren't more like it out there floating around...just that I guess I've never seen one? Anyway...original restored black horn scales with a replacement wedge of Ivory and domed brass washers with NiAg pins. The blade is a Hollow Ground 2.75 x .5 inch blade face, and it really shaves like the Dickens for such a small razor.
