    Default Big Fat Greaves!

    Very excited to get ahold of this one. I saw a Greaves like this a couple years ago and have been on the hunt ever since. 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.

    In great condition! I have one and it is truly a fine shaver. Operates on the principle of gravity!

    Enjoy!

    Great razor! I have just one question? Which razor do you like best, Greaves, or W&B?
    We have no control of what other people do or say to us, but we have control to how we REACT !! GOD BLESS
