    Default An early W. Greaves

    Here is a nice little early W. Greaves. Guessing 1810-1820. A 5/8 near wedge blade with an arris spine. The horn scales are original to the razor and were restored by the customer. I just pinned the blade. The in-process pictures are off the 400 grit belt and the bevel set.

    Nice precise grinding work Karl. Very crisp, even and clean. You use a 2 X 72?

    That's a nice machine! I've got to get a 2" belt grinder. All I have now is a 1 X 42 and it works well but is just not wide enough for blades.

    As always, I love your work brother.
