    Default picked up a Greaves & sons razor what do I have here ?

    I was trying to find out a little bit about this razor I have tried to find any other pics that look like the one I had picked up today and I have only been able to find one other pic on google and there was no info on it as far as shape and maybe a approximate date when it was made, I have a guy that sets aside all the straight razors that come into three different antique shops and I get to pick through the ones that I want.Name: greaves & sons 2.jpg Views: 683 Size: 54.6 KBName: greaves & Sons 1.jpg Views: 322 Size: 25.9 KB

    IMO, the fencing foils logo dates to between 1830 and 1850.
