    Default W. Greaves & Sons Stubtail in black horn

    This one was really rough when I got it. I decided to clean what I could and live with the rest.
    The size is 11/16, black horn scales, antique white wedge and stacked washers.

    It does not look rough anymore, it looks a beauty queen.

    Simple, elegant and classy. That's how I'd describe this stub tail.

    Nice job.

    Very nice, I believe I have that same blade and it is one of my favorite to shave with! Mine isn't quite as polished, that one looks great!

    I love the swayback, and the smile to go with it. I'd bet it's not the only thing smiling.. (not jealous, not jealous)!!

    Man! Nice work! Greaveses have a soul, you know! What a blade, pits and all! The scales are awesome. Someday, I would like to accomplish something like this!
