Reworked old Greaves
just finished redoing this old Greaves humpback.This razor was reground in around 1890.I reworked the blade to clean it up,and rescaled it.This one belongs to a member here.I have one in my collection,and really like the way it shaves.Most of these old regrinds have the makers marks ground off as this one does.IF you ever get the chance get one of these.
Best regards gary

Nenad,I use silicone bronze(Very thin) washers for inside pivot pin
washers,and brass for the outside ones,I make them spherical by shaping them
with a doming punch.If you need to know where to get those washers let me
know and Ill send you the links,of I can get some extra ones next time and
send you some.Best regards gary
