Big Fat Greaves!

**BeJay** · 01-17-2016, 03:04 AM

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.

I have a simlar "foil" greaves, and it is a great shaver! They are a beast to hone however...

Nice score!

I'm jealous...... I love them Greaves "Fencing Foils"!

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

Enjoy!

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.

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.
