I like my W&B's but I'd take this one over an FBU. I just love the lines on this particular Greaves.

Wow, very nice! I've held one identical to this, owned by another member, and it was very nice. I'm sure you will thoroughly enjoy every shave with it. Congrats!

When I saw this one come up on eBay I had to have it and placed a ridiculously high max bid. The blade is just over 8/8 at its widest. Scales need to be replaced and it's going to clean up very well. Wedge and collars will be kept and new scales will be made as close to the originals and possible.

Love the size of the blade. big fat heavy all in all very lovable but then again i would use a double bit ax if i could.

Nice score!

Nice catch, you'll love it.
My big Greaves honed up quick and easy


Shaves great, almost too great. Got careless one day and took out about a third of my mustache that I wasn't planning on removing.

It also has the honor of drawing the most blood of any of my razors. I was cleaning it up after shaving and pinched it in a towel to dry it off, Got my thumb above the edge, It went through the towel and my thumb without any hesitation. It's blood thirsty but I love it.

I saw that one but missed it! Great score & glad someone here got 'er!

Great pickup! I've always wanted a Greaves Chopper!

Had to let to go but I was watching that one as well. Anything over 8/8s is Chetah meat country...lol
Congrats. I looks awesome

Thanks!!

LOL, I wasn't gonna rub it in and you're right, I use it. It's a HELL of a shaver. Get one of your big pretties tuned up and learn to use it. You won't regret it.

Nice grab there. That's the way to bid on them if you want em. This is just the thread I needed to see. I got a kind of odd Greaves sittin' on my bench right now. It's been road hard and put up wet. Lots of PITina :<0) Seeing these makes me want to use it.
