    The one I hold dear more then any other, is my Wm. Greaves & Sons Superior Razor.
    It looks sexier then any other razor I own, and is without doubt, the finest shaving razor I've ever used in my life.

    This one you'd have to kill me, to get it from me.

    While I have a whole bunch of fine shaving tools that all shaves superbly, there is something about that razor that always makes me smile when I use it.
    I think I saw this one at the New York meet up this past January. It had blue scales And must have been the nicest filly I have ever seen. Funny thing is amongst your customs it was I vintage production that you choose for this thread, and honestly I can understand why you made that choice... That was my favorite razor I saw out if the bunch you took with you that day... Then again in a sucker for vintage steel! :-)

    I have a few, my great-grandfathers which I can't use due to a crack, a minty Beau Brummell that my father picked up for me on lark in Phoenix not knowing what it was, and finally my Iwasaki Tamahagane.

    Saying that razor is gorgeous fails miserably at describing it. That's really awesome that it has such a great story behind it too.

    I haven't shaved with this razor yet, but it is the one razor I will never get rid of. Being a retired Sailor from Maine I had to have this. It is in the mail to Glen tomorrow for restoration.

    I do not use them, but this pair of Nowills would be the last to go!

    That's quite a set you have there. What are the scales made of?
