The razor craftsman was from Texas!

Finally I got a razor in really poor shape that needed lots of TLC, the Ellis & Allen. Here they are all together, with a 17/16 Wade & Butcher FBU for a sense of scale. I'm not sure why these razors were made to the size that they were.

that shortened blade would have been huge if it was the same proportions as the others

Amazing razors OP. This one is not quite as substantial as some of the razors in this thread but this Greaves is my longest razor for sure.
