    Default W Greaves&Sons 7/8 1815/26 Custom purple tiger scales

    W Greaves Sons Cast steel 7/8 quarter hollow.This is a very old 1815/26 razor,with the old style tang,it is cast steel.Ifinished this one up a couple weeks ago,and have been shaving with it .It is a great shaver,and holds the edge really well.I finished this in an "as ground" type finish,but a little more shiny,I really dont like a mirror finish on this type razor.I have the original coffin box,and buffalo horn scales(they are also in excellent condition).I really enjoy shaving with these oldtimers
