Good point on the heal Richard. I hadn't thought about that. Some day I find an oldie like these. Then the hard part will be to leave some patina and spots. It's just right that they dont look shinny!

After waving my hands around my face for a couple minutes while sitting in my chair, I remembered that I have a 'stash and a short upper lip. The question is a valid one though. I did trim above the stash for a change a couple times. When trimming the ends, any blade toe will do.

Don't know if this qualifies...

William Greaves and sons, original scales were bent and broken so unusable. Replaced with some (probably little later) Sheaf works ones.
A real pleasure to shave with !
Doing a little Easter Egg hunting at the antiques market today and I found this Greaves stub tail. :D It's seen a few hones over the years and has some rust going in places, the bone scales are intact and the price was basically negligible. Pretty cool!

Awesome score Tuzi, can not wait to see it all honed up and ready, you will do it justice for sure.
Wow nice Easter gift. Greaves one of my favorites. What date range are you thinking?

Greaves became Greaves and sons in 1816.
