Thanks for Looking

this sure is an eye-catcher. very nice work

That's a very nice Greaves. I like the way you used the layered G10 and had it go back to the ivory wedge.

Beautiful job Glen.
I love the contrast with the black and white not to mention that Greaves' are awesome shavers.

Excellent work the scales are a great match for that razor. :chapeau

That looks terrific, Looks killer from the wedge end!

Great job on that Greaves Glen!
Scale choice, and flow back to the contrasting wedge, slick and clean.
Bet it shaves as good as it looks. Well done sir..
:chapeau

NICE! Excellent restore. Typically I hate modern material used for scales, on super old english blades, but you make it look goooood! Not surprising tho.
