W. Greaves & Sons in bone

A pre-1850 Greaves & Sons 7/8 smiling near wedge. One of the first restorations of the new year. A beautiful crocus type finish on a blade featuring a barbers notch and a thumb notched tang. Bone scales with a contrasting black horn wedge and brass pins and collars. A few progression pictures. Before and after regrind. The bevel has been set on a 1K Chosera as a final check and the blade faces have been buffed on a sisal wheel in preparation for polishing.

Just cant go wrong with bone , and a real horn wedge, very nice work, the before and after is quite impressive.

Greaves are some great shavers, nice work!

I wouldn't say no to that as a free gift :)

What is bone like to work with? Broad question I know.

I have some and it's black, I might give it a go seen as you have inspired me.

Top notch! :tu

Beautiful job!

Greaves are fantastic shavers.......thanks Sean! I have a frameback in honey horn and its my favorite Sheffield razor and that says a lot considering I love Joseph Rodgers & Sons.
