    Default W Greaves & Sons Restoration

    I kinda have a thing for this razor
    Love the scales, the weird shaped long blade, but most of all the steel.
    It went from horrific rotten steel to what looks like the best I've seen under a scope. Bevel set was flawless and it sits flat on the hones apart from the toe.

    All original apart from the pins and one collar.
    Thanks
    Joseph..

    It is stunning! I have one exactly like it and karlej touched it up with a bit of magic. It was in unreal condition when I sent it to him. Now it is the jewel of my collection!Name: IMG_1277.jpg Views: 183 Size: 41.5 KBName: IMG_1281.jpg Views: 209 Size: 40.8 KB

    I believe mine had a crocus finish originally. Awesome shaver and design!

    Very nice work. Looks great.
    What exactly do you mean by, "the best you've seen?"
    Edge or something about the steel?

    What I saw or through the microscope at the bevel set. The apex looked straight and toothless .
