W. Greaves & Sons double thumb-notch
This was a recent find on the bay it is a W. Greaves & Sons the blade tapers about 1/32 heal to toe, 11/16 at heel. some prior owner scratched it a bit trying to remove that patina... i just polished and buffed it a bit there are still a few scratches and a little patina left on the tang.

Have not tried her out yet. been working on getting it from a 2k GS to shave ready with just a barbers hone. but it is sort of a back burner item right now.

The shave ... well since I'm just using my barber's hone... the first try... not so good and i abandoned the blade today ...after the WTG i decided i do not like the razor... the shank seems a little short and my index and middle finger do not fit well before the scales. then the thinness between the notches... meh... I'll give it a few more tries but is it does not start feeling better it will be cut loose from the herd.

Looks like a great razor though, The notches like that I find are to thin in the middle for me as well but I'm still attracted to them
That is just a great looking razor
