Thread: W. Greaves Acier Fondu near wedge

W. Greaves 11/16 near wedge circa 1800- 1810. Acier Fondu meaning cast steel. The firm became W. Greaves & Sons in 1801. The stub tail of this razor shows a cold shut or forging flaw and was never completely shaped. The blade is restored in what is believed to be its original glazed finish. The black horn scales although showing some delamination are solid and were re-dyed black. The original lead wedge and steel collars were used in the restoration. The in process pictures show the blade off the 600 grit belt and the bevel set on a 1K hone.
