Late Greaves in Horn
Here is another of my own razor restorations from last weekend's 'work on your own stuff' vacation. This is a B. J. Eyres Co., The Late Greaves and Son. Sorry but I rarely take before pics. This one was heavily rusted and pitted. The scales are horn, pins nickel silver, washers are stainless steel and the wedge a dark red acrylic.

Whatever it looked like before, it sure looks great now !
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Beautiful piece of horn, and the red wedge in a very nice touch.

That's beautiful. It amazes me that my early Greaves and your late Greaves have identical spine curvatures. Says a lot about the manufacturer.
