This model of razor might be somewhat pedestrian, but the condition is outstanding. I received this one through ebay. Despite some pesky rusted spots, this is more or less as it would have appeared from the factory. It's hard to tell if there's even any hone wear - it's easy to forget that the original grinds on razors this early were EXCELLENT, with bevel sizes that rival hollow ground razors. Circa 1820s. The pictures truly don't do it justice.

The untouched Greaves is truly a blessing. 'Greavses have Souls!'

Very nice.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

I am intrigued by the pins and washers.

Very nice! I've got one just like it. Maybe pedestrian but they are wonderful shavers...one of my favorites.
