Thread: Greaves & Sons -- The Lexington razor.

To be honest, I'm still uncertain about cleaning it... Lovely patina but some rust at the pivot...

I think I'll be very very very gentle with it.

I have to admit, I've had it for a couple days and held off posting. I'm sure they were sold on eBay in time for July 4th on purpose too.

Very nice Lexington Zak. I have one very similar to this one. It does not have the makers name on it but rather most likely what this one says. I'll have to dig it out & look at it. I know it has the same style scales.

I'll give you 25 cents for them.
