Thread: William Greaves and Sons Chinese Razor

Use to, be into oriental rugs. Yes, the signed ones were worth more money. You got it , most had simple salutations where the signature should be. ie: Best Wishes!

Yesterday SWMBO was out of town and I was able to press the reset button on the kitchen and turn it into a workstation. The hones rotated through the soaking tub and came out one by one to go to work on the Greaves CR. I enjoy honing and this was the most enjoyable of all razors in my micro collection. As noted in another thread a friend at work gave me as a thank-you a jar of MDC so this was the king of all shave days. The shave did not disappoint in any way. I don't know how I could go back to a hollow ground razor. (Well this is not a true wedge). The only problem was that I could not really get the pivot pin tight. I'm kind of go to a bigger hammer type of person but I held back and after multiple tap tap tap and flip tap tap tap....well. For now I'll live with a flaccid scale. The razor is intact, a thing of beauty and, if I may, inscrutability. I hope everyone finds the razor they are looking for.
