    Oh my goodness. It's been almost 8 months since anyone has added to this club!

    Let's get some activity in here.



    I think that's all I've got, arranged chronologically from top to bottom, starting about 1790 and ending about 1850.

    Come on people, let's get some more Greaves in here!

    Almost as long as I've been off the forums... I have a recently acquired Greaves, that mottled blonde cow horn with inserts...not sure on a date. I'll post a pic soon.

    Yes indeed! It's always surprising to me how many of these turn up considering they were made in 1830. It continues to be one of my favorite razors.

    Yours is in especially good condition.

    Thanks Zak...it is in really nice condition. A lucky find for sure...I am always amazed how well this 180+ year old tool shaves every time it goes into my rotation for a day or 2.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
