    hhhhmmmm.... a name....

    How about little Greavsie.

    As for what I did with little Greavsie, Not much. I like to try and keep my razors as original as possible, when I can. So all I did was soaked it in neatsfoot oil over night, polished the blade with flitz as well as the domed washers, and hit the wedge with some 2000 grit w/d sandpaper. Tightened the pins, honed in a coticule edge and done!

    Loving this blade a lot, that's for sure.

    As a Winnipegger, it would be remiss of me not to suggest "Danny" in honour of Daniel Greaves of The Watchmen. "Drivin' in style with a smile on..."

    That's a fine looking blade! And I love how it has been left as original as possible. Patina lovers of the world unite...


    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    It's found a good home for as much as you haven't done as what you have

    Well I am glad that someone here got it. I just didn't want to pay the money for it
